g'day john,
the recipes aren't mine to own, but i tried them all last season with no success, or similar to current formula. seems that it depends largely on when and where the female hatches and gets her fix of protein. if she gets the fix before coming to your garden then the traps are ineffective, it would seem.

the supermarkets should all sell them, or try produce agencies or
hardwares.

I shall have a stern word with Vasili, in that case. Have you got any lures baited with your own recipe, for comparison? Week before last's ABC gardening program showed the use of cloth bags around individual fruit, to protect from fruit flies (also from birds, possums, and sunburn). It resembled that waterproof material that you can get as an inner cover for pillows, and which comes as a wrapping for some electronics goods. A finely woven cloth, nothing like plastic, and too strong to tear. He used it for his figs. (Once they reached a good size, I guess, so that they had already been pollinated.) Anyone got a clue where I can buy some hanging sticky fly strips around Brisbane/Logan ? -- Matthew 25:13 KJV "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh" Mark 13:33 "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is". len With peace and brightest of blessings, "Be Content With What You Have And May You Find Serenity and Tranquillity In A World That You May Not Understand." http://www.lensgarden.com.au/ |

I did buy some Chinese brand from a $2 store, but they weren't nearly as sticky as the supermarket ones and they hardly caught any flies. And they seemed to dry up, whereas the good ones stay sticky forever. I guess you can't shop through Coles online? Maybe try the local pest controller (Flick man). If he doesn't have them, he might be able to order them. I have seen a recipe for making your own (heat sugar and stuff, and dunk strips of brown paper); there's probably something on the web though the idea is likely too 'survivalist' for your need. :-) -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

where are you?
do you have produce agencies? maybe an online search and get them by mail order?

Well I made several with the formula I googled and published , basically it is so sticky the fly can't get away without self destruction and after several days have captured a lot of flies , the dogs are far less bothered and no longer foll0wed by a dark cloud Good recipe. You could have made some toffee apples at the same time! I declare a success It's fully degradeable, too. When the fly paper is full up, you can add it to the compost, or lower it a bit so it becomes a doggie treat! LOL -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
