One attracts egg-laying female fruit flies, while the other attracts immature female and male fruit flies. Together with the trap’s shape and colour, these lures draw flies to the sticky disc, where they are captured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy targeting females as well as immature males, the traps help reduce the number of pest fruit flies around your developing produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhen to install the traps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall traps before fruit becomes attractive to fruit flies. This is generally while the fruit is still hard and green, before ripening begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssemble the traps and activate the lures according to the instructions supplied with your pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eHow many traps do I need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFruit trees up to 3 metres tall: use one trap per tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFruit trees taller than 3 metres: use two traps per tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVegetable crops: use one trap per 10 m × 10 m area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne two-trap pack provides the recommended number for two smaller trees or one larger tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhere to position the traps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eFruit trees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang traps 1.5–2 metres above the ground. For trees up to 3 metres tall, position one trap on the northern side, in the outer canopy.

Replace a trap sooner if its sticky surface becomes densely covered with fruit flies. Replace traps when the lure sachets have been open for 12 weeks rather than continuing to rely on older lures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid touching the sticky surface. If adhesive gets onto skin or gloves, the manufacturer recommends using vegetable oil to help remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of use, disassemble the traps and separate components for disposal through appropriate household waste and recycling collections. Check your local recycling requirements before disposing of the plastic cages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eDoes this trap attract female fruit flies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
