This works!
Our box hedging has been invaded by Box Moths (the moths have white wings edged in brown and female moths are brown). After doing lots of research on how to get rid of the blighters three main factors emerged - put the trap out (April to October to attract moths - you then know you have a problem), trim your hedging and spray the hedges (lots of products are available I used Top Buxus).This trap is very easy to assemble. The first day I used it we didn't catch any moths but from then on it we have caught moths every day. The first few days I caught approx. 40 moths and the trap keeps catching them. I went out last night to see loads of moths hovering round the trap.I will certainly continue to use this trap and will purchase another one for our back garden too.Top tip - fill the bottom of the trap with an inch or so of water and put a few drops of washing up liquid in. This breaks the surface tension of the water and makes the trap more successful at catching the moths. As each moth lays between 100 and 200 eggs this is work in progress but it appears to be working. We also hosed our hedge down which dislodged lots of eggs. Fingers crossed we can preserve our hedging.

Box Moth
I used this trap very successfully last year, so didn’t hesitate to use again.

Useless!!
I wanted something that was going to repel the moths not just catch the odd one if you're lucky.Mines in the bin.A complete waste of money.

Works!
I bought this Box moth trap late in the season after the caterpillars had already done a lot of damage, but it's the first year they've reached my area.After putting the trap up, with a couple of centimetres of water in the bottom, it attracted and trapped a lot of the moths. If my box hedging survives into next spring I'll definitely refresh the pheromone capsule and hope it traps enough male moths to save the hedge!

It works!
Had a really bad infestation on our box hedges. Wasn’t sure if it was working at first but after a few days, the moths just kept coming. Will be putting it out again in spring. Hoping that our box hedge will recover.
