Use:

Depending on the intended use, assemble the trap and fasten it with the supplied wire. (Exact assembly instructions and scope of application are described in detail for each pheromone trap.) To prevent the pest from being attracted directly to the protected plants, the trap should be hung, for example, on another nearby tree. If this is not possible, the trap can be attached to a stake. Hang the trap between the main wind direction and the tree at eye level. The entrances to the trap should not be blocked by branches or leaves. Each trap must be checked every 2–3 days. Each time the trap is checked, the sticky base must be cleaned of stuck insects, using an aid (for example, a branch, a wooden spatula) if necessary, in order to preserve the entire adhesive surface. 

The trap should be hung before the moths start flying.
