đż UK & Europe gardeners â now is the time to protect your box (Buxus sempervirens) from box moth! đ
In this Short, Bunny Guinness explains why regular spraying is so important to stay ahead of box moth damage.
â At 18â24°C, the spray remains effective for around 7 days.
âď¸ In temperatures above 30°C, effectiveness drops to around 2 days.
đ Products such as Dipel and Xentari are broken down by UV, so timing is key.
đ§ď¸ Don't spray if rain is expected within the next 6 hours, as it can wash the treatment away before it has a chance to work.
â ď¸ Take care to spray only your box plants. These products can affect many species of butterflies and moths, so avoid spraying any other plants. The goal is to target box moth while protecting beneficial wildlife.
