Ryset Cabbage Moth Decoys – Pack of 6 | Brassica Pest Deterrent

Help protect brassica crops without sprays using Ryset Cabbage Moth Decoys.

Each lifelike decoy resembles a cabbage white butterfly and is mounted on a flexible spring attached to a long garden stake. The decoy moves naturally in the breeze and is designed to make the growing area appear occupied, potentially discouraging territorial cabbage white butterflies from landing and laying eggs.

Supplied as a pack of six decoys, ready to position throughout the vegetable garden.

How They Work

The decoys mimic the appearance of adult cabbage white butterflies. Placing several decoys among brassica crops may make the area appear occupied and encourage visiting butterflies to move elsewhere before laying eggs.

Results will vary, and the decoys should be used as a preventative aid rather than guaranteed protection.

How to Use

1. Insert the stakes securely into the soil throughout the vegetable bed.

2. Position the decoys around the height of the plant foliage.

3. Distribute all six decoys throughout the growing area rather than clustering them in one position.

4. Allow enough space for the spring-mounted decoys to move freely in the breeze.

5. Reposition them occasionally as plants grow or pest activity changes.

6. Continue checking the undersides of leaves for eggs and young caterpillars.

For stronger protection, combine the decoys with insect-exclusion netting, regular crop inspection and other suitable cabbage caterpillar controls.
