Field Life: Change the lure every 30 Days Application Notes: FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON LURE LABEL.
DO NOT CUT, PUNCTURE or OPEN the Hexanol lure pouch. DO NOT REMOVE lure from the pouch. HANG IN TRAP AS NECESSARY. Hang the first part with paper clip from lure basket mounted on roof of the trap. Open the Ammonium Lure and dissolve it within 0.5 L of water inside the trap (see reference photo). Hang 1-2 baited traps per hectare, within close proximity of potentially infested host plants.
THIS WORKS.
We've been battling Black Fig Fly larva for a few years. We tried putting little organza bags over the figs and placing painter's tape over the "belly buttons" of the emerging fruit: both methods were time-consuming and problematic (often the bag/tape would fall off over time, or the fig would fall off while we were attaching).
This lure & trap was EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE. The first year we used it, we went from 90% fruit loss to 5% fruit loss. This is our second year with this lure and I suspect we'll have even less of a problem with black fig fly larva.
Thanks for making something that works, that is easy to use, and that is targeted it doesn't harm pollinators!
