Three Reusable Non-toxic Apple-Style Traps

Apple Maggot is a type of fruit fly that attacks apples, blueberries, hawthorn, plums, pears and cherries. They cause extensive fruit damage that renders fruit useless. The fly is smaller than a housefly and appears throughout the summer. Most people don’t even notice them.

Most fruits are attacked by flies that lay their eggs during late spring to early summer. Traps should be placed before apple fruiting, but can be placed at any time through the year. Leave traps out until harvest.

The SpringStar Apple Maggot trap and lure set have proven effective at reducing apple maggot damage. Flies are attracted by the lures and come to a sticky demise on the goo-covered apple sphere.

Although the trap replicates an apple, the pheromone scent will attract flies even when used in berry crops, or in trees with different fruits.

The reusable trap includes our one-season, controlled-release lure system. Place traps in trees and leave out until harvest time.

Hang one trap for approximately every 100 apples in your tree. That's about five traps for an average standard tree. When an insect lands on the sticky sphere, it becomes trapped and dies. Check traps periodically. Traps become ineffective when they are covered with insects and/or debris. Clean off the spheres and reapply the glue as needed.

The SpringStar Apple Maggot kit comes with three traps, three hooks, a 6 oz. tube of spreadable glue, and three lures.
