Julie says... I have had one out for two weeks now, and it has caught dozens. I live in an orchard area, and the local growers are using these by the hundred, since Lebaycid has been banned in WA. I haven't checked the gender - if I have time I'll do that tomorrow. I like the idea that it lasts five months. So much better than changing the bait in traps every week. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 2nd November 2012 9:36pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I think they are using them along with with other methods, but don't know what. Probably splash baiting? We will know the results when the fruit comes in season. Growers are furious that Lebaycid has been banned in WA, along with Malathion. I still intend to put organza bags on the apricots and peaches. So the Spinosad didn't work? | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 3rd November 2012 9:38pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Dawei says... The secret is to get the traps out a couple of months before you would damage on your crop. The female needs a protein source before she can lay her eggs, so getting it out early will be much more effective. Also a good idea to hang some traps around the outside of your site to catch them as they fly in from other areas. | About the Author Dawei Bundaberg 4th February 2017 5:18pm #UserID: 15518 Posts: 1 View All Dawei's Edible Fruit Trees |
Michael D says... I was at Tropical Fruit World last month and ask them about FF control.They dont spray but rather use any traps that can break the mating cycle 3 times is as good as they can do.This means you need to have any traps like Cera or Wild May out all the time to kill as many male FF as possible.Its not 100% but its as good as traps can be without using nets or exclusion bags. | About the Author Michael D wakeley 10th February 2017 7:57pm #UserID: 1938 Posts: 116 View All Michael D's Edible Fruit Trees |
