Product details
Bactrocera-Block consists of a 5cm x 5cm wooden block impregnated with the attractant Methyl Eugenol and the contact insecticide Malathion.
Bactrocera-Block controls fruit flies such as Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruit Fly), Bactrocera latifrons (chili fruit fly), and Bactrocera zonata (peach fruit fly). These pests can be found on crops such as cucumber, zucchini, pepper, tomato, avocado, and mango. Bactrocera-Block also controls Bactrocera philippinensis, cacuminata, endiandrae, mayi, carambolea, dorsalis and correct.
How does Bactrocera-Block work?
Once outside its original sealed packaging, the Bactrocera-Block will start releasing its attractants over a period of six weeks. This will attract male fruit flies, which will then touch the block and die from the contact insecticide.
Why use Bactrocera-Block?
- Bactrocera-Block is very effective at controlling fruit flies
- Bactrocera-Block does not touch your crop and thus there is no MRL (Maximum Residue Level) applicable
- Bactrocera-Block is specific in its target pest and thus does not harm any beneficial insects such as bees
- Bactrocera-Block is easy to apply
How to use Bactrocera-Block?
The bait station is placed at a rate of 10 traps per hectare (4 traps per acre). Hang the bait stations within the tree canopy on the shady side of the tree, at least 1.5 meters above the ground. Replace after 6 weeks.
Safety of Bactrocera-Block?
