Protect soft fruit crops from Spotted Wing Drosophila with this natural fruit fly attractant. Specially formulated for Drosophila suzukii, this effective lure helps attract adult fruit flies before they can cause further damage to ripening fruit.

Ideal for use around cherries, berries, grapes and other soft fruit, the attractant provides a simple way to support fruit fly control throughout the growing season.

Made from cider vinegar and natural fruit extracts, the formula contains no added chemicals and is suitable for use around edible crops. Simply add the recommended amount to a suitable fruit fly trap and replace regularly to maintain effective attraction.

Natural Fruit Fly Attractant for Spotted Wing Drosophila

Spotted Wing Drosophila is an invasive fruit fly that can lay eggs beneath the skin of ripening fruit. The larvae develop inside the fruit, which can lead to softening, deterioration and crop losses.

This fruit fly lure is designed specifically to attract Drosophila suzukii into a suitable trap, where the flies are captured. Regular trapping can help reduce adult fly numbers and support ongoing management of infestations in gardens, allotments and fruit-growing areas.

Made with Cider Vinegar and Natural Fruit Extracts

The attractant uses a cider vinegar and fruit extract base to create a scent that appeals to fruit flies. With no added chemicals, it provides a straightforward solution for growers looking to protect soft fruit crops without relying on conventional insecticide sprays.

The lure is suitable for use near edible fruit and can be used throughout the growing season.

Fruit Fly Control for Soft Fruit Crops

This attractant is particularly suitable for crops that are vulnerable to Spotted Wing Drosophila as the fruit begins to ripen.

• Raspberries
• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Blackberries
• Cherries
• Grapes
• Plums

Using traps consistently through the season can help reduce fruit damage while also helping to lower the number of flies that survive into the following year.

Bee and Pollinator Friendly Fruit Fly Lure

The scent is designed to attract fruit flies without attracting bees or beneficial pollinating insects. This makes the attractant well suited to fruit gardens where bees and other pollinators may be active around flowering and fruiting plants.

Long-Lasting 1 Litre Fruit Fly Attractant Refill

Only 100 ml of attractant is required for each trap refill, making the 1 litre bottle an economical choice for regular monitoring and control throughout the season.

For best results, replace the liquid approximately every three weeks, or sooner if the trap becomes full or the attractant dries out.

How to Use the Fruit Fly Attractant

• Use approximately one trap per 100 square metres.
• Hang the trap around 1 metre above ground level.
• Add 100 ml of attractant to each trap.
• Replace the lure every three weeks or when required.
• Check traps regularly throughout the fruit-growing season.

Season-Long Protection for Ripening Fruit

For the best results, begin trapping before fruit becomes fully ripe and continue using the attractant while susceptible crops are present. Consistent use can help reduce active fruit fly populations during the season and may also help reduce overwintering numbers.
