Fruit Fly Lure  Powerful Protection

Protecting your fruit shouldn’t mean spraying chemicals every week.

EcoBiom’s Fruit Fly Lure is a highly effective attractant designed to lure male fruit flies into monitoring or trapping systems, helping reduce breeding populations before they damage valuable fruit.

Whether you’re growing citrus, mangoes, peaches, apples or backyard vegetables, fruit flies can quickly ruin an entire harvest. Instead of reacting after fruit is infested, Fruit Fly Lure helps you detect and suppress populations early.

Simply place the lure inside a compatible fruit fly trap and allow its specially formulated attractant to work continuously for up to 90 days.

Ideal for home gardeners, hobby farms, commercial orchards and integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Protect your harvest naturally while reducing unnecessary insecticide applications.

How It Works

Fruit flies locate mates using natural scent cues.

The Fruit Fly Lure releases a powerful attractant that mimics these natural signals, drawing male fruit flies into the trap.

Once trapped, males cannot reproduce, reducing future generations and lowering overall fruit fly pressure.

Continuous trapping also provides valuable monitoring data so growers know when populations begin increasing.

Fruit Fly Lure is an autolysed protein highly attractive to Queensland and Mediterranean fruit flies. It needs to be mixed with a toxicant and can then be used to attract and kill adult fruit flies.

About protein bait sprays

How does it work?

• A protein + toxicant attracts and kills female flies
• Female fruit flies must feed on protein before they can sting fruit

How to mix our protein bait

• For best results, use with our Fruit Fly Lure Thickener
• Mix thickener with water 24 hours before use
• Add Bugs for Bugs Fruit Fly Lure at 2 L per 100 L of thickened water
• Add toxicant at the label rate (see table with list of registered products below)

How to apply our protein bait

• Apply fresh on day of mixing
• Use 15 L of mixture per ha
• Apply as a spot or band to the host plants or suitable substrate
• Note: this is not a cover spray

When to apply

• Start early (before fruit becomes susceptible) and continue for at least 3 weeks after harvest
• Apply every 5-7 days (more often if you see any signs of damage or increased fruit fly activity)
• Re-apply after rain

How much Fruit Fly Lure do I need?

Our Fruit Fly lure comes in four pack sizes:

• 1 L (roughly enough to treat 1 ha 3 times)
• 2.5 L (roughly enough to treat 1 ha 7.5 times)
• 5 L (roughly enough to treat 1 ha 14 times)
• 15 L (roughly enough to treat 1 ha 42 times)

Tips for best results

• Start early – at least 2 weeks before fruit becomes susceptible
• Apply regularly
• Don’t miss a treatment
• Increase frequency during high risk periods
• Add Fruit Fly Lure Thickener for best results
• Protein bait should ideally be placed on foliage or trunk of the host plant
• Do not apply protein bait to ground or grass
• Note that protein bait may cause fruit burn – test before use and minimise fruit contact
• Treating larger areas including non-fruiting blocks and surrounds will improve results

Scientific Trial Data / Field Results

Research worldwide has demonstrated that pheromone and male attractant trapping:

• Detects fruit fly populations before crop damage becomes severe.
• Significantly improves monitoring accuracy.
• Reduces breeding pressure when integrated into IPM programs.
• Supports lower insecticide use while maintaining crop protection.

Best performance is achieved when combined with sanitation, baiting and orchard hygiene.
