Mating Disruption for Codling Moth

    Puffer® Ultra CM

    Suterra
    Fast to deploy aerosol pheromone solution for codling moth control

    Puffer® Ultra CM is Suterra’s aerosol release formulation for codling moth mating disruption in apples, pears, and other crops where CM is a pest.

    Engineered for the Pacific Northwest's growing conditions, the patented new Puffer® controls codling moth all season long. The fast-to-deploy product releases a precise, consistent amount of CM sex pheromone throughout the orchard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females. This disrupts the mating cycle and suppresses pest populations.

    Puffer® Ultra CM is compatible with all integrated pest management (IPM) tools. The product is also suitable for organic production.
