Attractive liquid / trap against the Asian fly

Attractant for Asian fruit fly drosophila suzukii

Drosophilia suzukii is a small fly from Japan. This tiny insect, barely two to three millimetres long, causes enormous damage to fruit, especially cherries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, figs, kiwis, orchard fruit... The female can lay up to 500 eggs in one month. She pierces the skin of healthy, ripe fruit to deposit them inside. When they hatch, the larvae feed on the pulp, causing the fruit to deteriorate and fall. Crop losses are significant.

The trap + attractant liquid

This attractant helps trap and identify the pest insect in areas where its presence is suspected (soft fruit plantations). The insects are captured by the trap’s attractant liquid. The specific composition of this liquid acts strongly on adult individuals, which can detect it from kilometres away. Likewise, the bright colours of the trap components also attract the insect. The liquid contains no insecticide; its formula is based on food-grade ingredients.

Instructions for use

• Pour the liquid into the trap container. Screw the lid onto the container. Insert the supplied hanger into the hole in the lid provided for this purpose.
• Hang the trap from a branch, a post, etc., at a height of about 1 to 1.5 metres, in shaded areas.
• Place 1 to 2 traps depending on the size of the tree and the area to protect.
