Simple yet incredibly effective, this trap utilises an irresistible scent lure to draw flying pests inside, ensuring they are captured securely before they can sting and ruin your valuable fruit and crops. By filling the trap with a recommended fruit fly attractant (sold separately), you create an efficient one-way physical barrier where flies are attracted by the scent, enter the chamber, but are entirely unable to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOptimised for both commercial agriculture and backyard gardens, this trap serves as a critical first line of defence in any integrated pest management strategy. The durable, weather-resistant housing ensures the liquid attractant remains protected from rain dilution while allowing the scent plume to disperse efficiently through the surrounding tree canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest For:\u003c\/b\u003e Commercial fruit growers, home gardeners, orchard managers, and pest control professionals requiring a targeted, non-toxic monitoring and control solution for Bactrocera species fruit flies in fruit trees, vegetable patches, and near susceptible high-value crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTargeted Bactrocera Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically designed to attract and trap destructive fruit fly species, heavily targeting the aggressive Queensland Fruit Fly (Bactrocera tryoni).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIrresistible Scent-Based Lure System:\u003c\/b\u003e Works by drawing fruit flies to the attractant scent, ensuring highly effective capture before they have the opportunity to lay eggs in your developing produce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOne-Way Escape Prevention:\u003c\/b\u003e The clever funnel-style entry design allows easy access for the pest but completely blocks their exit path, ensuring captured flies drown in the liquid attractant basin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHanging Bottle Format:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a sturdy, integrated hanging loop mechanism for easy suspension from tree branches, vineyard posts, or shade structures within the affected fruiting zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReusable and Durable:\u003c\/b\u003e Built from tough agricultural plastics designed to be easily emptied, cleaned, refilled, and reused across multiple growing seasons, providing a highly cost-effective pest management solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Technical Specifications Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
