Vitax Fruit Tree Grease is a highly effective pest control solution designed to protect fruit trees from destructive insects, particularly the Winter Moth, Mottled Umber Moth, and March Moth. This oil-based grease is used as a brush-on monitoring trap, preventing pests from climbing tree trunks and causing damage. It works by trapping the female moths that are wingless and help monitor the infestation level on the tree. Ideal for use in autumn to early spring, Fruit Tree Grease provides a long-lasting barrier that protects fruit trees from larvae and caterpillars feeding on them.

Effective Winter Moth & Pest Control:

Vitax Fruit Tree Grease is specially formulated to protect fruit trees from harmful pests such as the Winter Moth, Mottled Umber Moth, and March Moth. These pests can cause significant damage to trees by feeding on leaves, buds, and fruit. By applying this grease around the tree trunk, you can effectively block their access and prevent their larvae from infesting the tree.

Brush-On Monitoring Trap:

This product functions as a brush-on trap that captures the female, wingless adult moths as they try to climb the tree trunk. This not only prevents pest activity but also provides an indication of the infestation level. Regular monitoring with this product helps you assess the extent of pest damage on each tree and take further actions if necessary.

Long-Lasting Protection:

The grease creates a durable, sticky barrier around the base of the tree that prevents pests from climbing up and laying eggs. This barrier is effective from late October to early spring, safeguarding the tree during critical periods when pest activity is most prominent, from late autumn through to early spring.

Simple and Effective Application:

Vitax Fruit Tree Grease is easy to apply around the base of the tree trunk. Simply apply the grease approximately 45cm above ground level to form a complete barrier around the tree. The product is designed to remain sticky for an extended period, offering ongoing protection throughout the season. Replenish the grease as needed to maintain its effectiveness.
