3. Empty trap and record fly numbers weekly.

Hang the eco-lure trap containing the eco-lure wick within foliage of the host crop plant. Traps may be placed around the orchard perimeter to indicate source direction of flies entering the orchard. 1 or 2 traps in the centre of the orchard can be used to indicate the efficacy of the control program.

The wicks will attract male flies from up to 400 metres. eco-lure trap catches will vary depending on local sources of infestation and fruit fly population dynamics at the time. Local experience will help to determine the significance of trap catches. eco-lure wicks should be replaced after 3 months.
