leek moth control

[perkin]

While doing some internet research for my horticultural homework I came across a pheromone trap for leek moth. Has anyone tried these and if so, what was your experience? My winter leeks are quite badly affected this year so I wondered if it might be worth trying these next year.

Haven't tried the traps, but quite a few people net their leeks with fine mesh netting. Might be worth a go.

Leek Moth doesn't seem to have made it up as far as us yet. hopefully it will remain like that

Netting (debris netting) is what I use - this year I have lovely clean leeks, well worth the effort of pegging the netting down at planting out time

Have only tried the mesh netting method,it stopped the moths ruining crop this year.
