Effective and environmentally solution to the problem of Mediterranean fruit fly (ceratitis capitata) and Queensland fruit fly (bactrocera tryoni)
• Targets both male and female fruit fly
• The traps should be placed evenly throughout the garden, except where there are recognised areas of high insect activity, these areas should be reinforced with additional traps
• Use before fruit flies start attacking the fruit
• Hang in trees when the fruit are small and still developing, when fruit reaches approximately one third its final size
• Hang on the northern side of the tree, at a height of approximately 1.5 metres and within the tree canopy
• To reduce pest numbers, it is essential to install the traps at least 45 days prior to fruit ripening
