Drososan Trap

Description: 1 red container/insect reservoir with four openings covered with mesh (to eliminate the risk of capturing other insects or pollinators). Includes transparent lid/cover and a hook.

How it Works: The spotted wing drosophila are attracted to the trap by the liquid attractant. Once in the trap they drown in the attractant.

Best used: Install the traps as soon as the temperature exceeds 10°C, coinciding with the beginning of the adult flights and fruit development in surrounding trees and shrubs. Traps will be less effective once fruit starts to ripen.

Important Information Before Use:

• The trap has been specifically designed to prevent the undesired trapping of other insects.
• Avoid placing the trap in direct sunlight.

• This trap must be used with an attractant solution. We recommended adding 200 ml of this solution per trap:

  • 1/3 water
  • 1/3 cider vinegar
  • 1/3 of red wine
  • 1 tablespoon sugar syrup or molasses
  • 1 teaspoon of liquid soap
