fruit fly
It appears for me there is no real good way of dealing with the
blighters. So minimising is all one can hope for. Free range chooks may be one answer. You have trouble trapping females too? Darn I thought it was my personality! (Or breath fresheners arent up to the task) len garden wrote: good one jonno, there is an effective male wick that will attract and kill males that is the easy part, but trapping the females is another thing altogether so that is the vexing problem when dealing with f/f, for us controlling the males means less fertile females so less f/f damage, and another part of our f/f control is good husbandry around the trees ie.,. collecting and destroying all f/f damaged frut off-site. so f/f control is a multi-part process.

fruit fly
g'day jonno,
no mate it doesn't come down to your bronzed rugged good looks or masculine aroma, the female of all species are hard to attract! us males go easy hey? in the garden try to adopt the theory of control and management of pests etc, you will then get a balance, erradication won't happen or if it does it will be at a cost. we have trapped another mass of male flies all out of commission now for the coming season, currently no fruit happening here as yet but hopefully this will put us a head in the control stakes along with the use of that product i earlier mentioned. our female traps as usual work slow there are some dead bugs in them but they maybe other sorts of flies??
