Vitax Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap

Apple maggots are a common pest that can damage fruit trees. Monitoring traps are used to track their presence and population levels.

How they work:

1. Attractant: The trap typically contains a pheromone or other attractant that lures apple maggot flies.
2. Sticky Surface: The trap has a sticky surface that captures the attracted flies.
3. Monitoring: By regularly checking the traps, you can monitor the population of apple maggot flies.

Benefits of using monitoring traps:

• Early Detection: Detects infestations early, allowing for timely control measures.
• Reduced Pesticide Use: Can help minimize the need for chemical pesticides.
• Environmental Friendliness: A non-toxic and eco-friendly approach to pest management.

Tips for Effective Monitoring:

• Placement: Place traps in the tree canopy, near fruit-bearing branches.
• Timing: Set up traps in early summer, before apple maggots emerge.
• Regular Inspection: Check traps weekly and replace attractants as needed.
• Control Measures: If a high population of apple maggots is detected, consider using organic or chemical control methods.

By using apple maggot monitoring traps, you can protect your fruit trees and maintain a healthy orchard.
