Key Product Benefits & Features
- Extended Field Residual: Utilizing an advanced slow-release wooden block/polymer matrix, a single lure remains hyper-effective for up to 3 full months.
- Drastic Crop Loss Prevention: Effectively halts the stinging and egg-laying cycle of female fruit flies, eliminating maggot-infested, unmarketable produce.
- Zero Chemical Contamination: Works through eco-friendly attraction, leaving zero toxic chemical residues on fruits, making them perfectly safe for premium export markets.
- Species-Specific Vector Control: Exclusively targets male Bactrocera species to completely disrupt reproduction without harming essential pollinators or honeybees.
- All-Weather Structural Stability: Heavy rain, intense summer heat, and high humidity will not wash away or degrade the structural stability of the lure attractant.
Application & Field Usage Guidelines
- Trapping Density: Install 6 to 8 lures per acre for routine orchard monitoring; scale up to 10 to 12 lures per acre for heavy mass trapping.
- Compatible Traps: Engineered specifically to pair with standard Maximus Fly Traps, IPM Bottle Traps, or Dome Traps.
- Hanging Placement: Suspend the trap securely inside the tree canopy at a height of 5 to 6 feet from the ground, preferably in a shaded area to maximize the life of the pheromone cloud.
- Handling Precautions: Wear clean latex gloves during setup. Avoid directly handling the lure skin-to-skin to prevent cross-contamination with external chemical odours.
Targeted Pest ManagementThis lure selectively attracts problematic fruit fly species like B. correcta, B. dorsalis, and B. zonata, ensuring effective pest management in fruit-centered agricultural settings. Its targeted action minimizes harm to beneficial and non-target insects, making it ideal for integrated pest management strategies in modern farming.
Safe and Environmentally ConsiderateFormulated to be safe for both crops and non-target arthropods, this pheromone-based lure delivers precision pest control without resorting to broad-spectrum chemicals. The product's sealed packaging ensures both user safety and product longevity, improving handling and application on the field.
