Vitax Plum Maggot Trap

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

How they work:

1. Attractant: The trap contains a pheromone or other attractant that lures plum 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 plum 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 fruit trees, particularly near ripening fruit.
• Timing: Set up traps in early summer, before plum maggots emerge.
• Regular Inspection: Check traps weekly and replace attractants as needed.
• Control Measures: If a high population of plum maggots is detected, consider using organic or chemical control methods.

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