Product Description
Attracts & Traps Squash Vine Borers!
The mature Squash Vine Borer is a stout dark gray moth with 'hairy' red hind legs, opaque front wings, and clear hind wings with dark veins. Unlike most moths, they fly about the plants during the daytime, appearing more like a paper wasp than a moth.
This insect overwinters as a full grown larva or a pupa one to two inches below the soil surface. If it has not already done so, the larva pupates in the spring. Adult moths begin to emerge about the time the plants begin to run, and moth flight continues through mid August. The small brown eggs, laid individually on leaf stalks and vines, hatch in seven to 10 days. The newly hatched larva immediately bores into the stem. A larva feeds for 14 to 30 days before exiting the stem to pupate in the soil. There are 1 to 2 generations per year.
VivaGrow Squash Vine Borer traps include a pheromone to naturally lure mature moths to a sticky surface where they cannot escape, keeping them from being able to produce larvae which feed on and damage plants. 100% safe for pets, non toxic.

Best option
These are pretty much the best option for fighting off squash vine borers in a garden. Spraying is not good and the other remedies are too difficult to keep up with for the whole season.
-
Very sticky
The glue is very sticky but it is probably what is needed to catch these big moths and keep them there. They look strong.
-
FAST SHIPPING
Amazingly fast shipping. Like faster than Amazon which is pretty impressive. Price is better directly too.
-
Satisfied
It's almost crazy how fast these catch moths. We are alarmed at how many there are in the garden, we had no idea until we started catching them with these traps
-
Long life
Works for a long time. Make a 10-pack of these so they are easier to get please.
-
Get them while you can
These usually sell out get them while they are in stock
-
Better than the DIY options
We tried all the DIY ideas on youtube and pinterest. None of them really did anything so we tried these VT100 traps. They were much better all through fall. It is cool that you can see if you are catching anything in the traps.

See you later borers
Effective and they do last a long time. The lures and the glue will last even longer if you keep them out of the direct sunlight.

Dynamite!
Extremely effective. I can't believe how many borers got caught as fast as they did. Really incredible. 2 traps lasted all season - we did not put them out simultaneously. We deployed the second of the two traps after the first one was full of borer moths.
