Maggot damage in plums, damsons and gages is mainly caused by caterpillars of the plum fruit moth. The female moths lay eggs on the leaves and fruits. After 10-14 days, the caterpillars bore into the fruitlets and feed on the fruit in early summer. Each trap contains a pheromone which lures the male moths into the trap enabling gardeners the access the trap and apply a suitable insecticide. As male moths tend to mate on warm nights, traps should be in place for late spring or early summer.
