A pesticide-free lure for attracting and killing the male Queensland Fruit Fly (Bactrocera tryoni).
Fly Bye™ Fruit Fly Lure is based upon a breakthrough formulation of native oils that have proven to be spectacularly successful in attracting the male fly, thereby disrupting the breeding pattern of this major pest. Refillable plastic bottle traps are hung in the growing area at a rate of four per hectare.
