Fruit flies can quickly become one of the most destructive pests in orchards, vineyards and home gardens. Unfortunately, many liquid attractants evaporate rapidly under Australia’s harsh conditions, reducing trap effectiveness and requiring frequent replacement.
Fruit Fly Lure Thickener is designed to solve this problem.
By increasing the viscosity of liquid fruit fly attractants, the lure remains active for longer, helping traps stay effective while reducing evaporation and maintenance. Whether you’re monitoring pest populations or implementing an integrated pest management (IPM) program, this simple addition helps maximise every trap.
Suitable for commercial growers, consultants and home gardeners, Fruit Fly Lure Thickener is an economical way to improve trap performance while supporting sustainable pest management.
✅ Slows lure evaporation
✅ Extends trap life
✅ Improves monitoring accuracy
✅ Reduces refill frequency
✅ Saves labour and maintenance time
✅ Suitable for commercial orchards and home gardens
✅ Supports Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
✅ Easy to mix with approved fruit fly attractants
✅ Cost-effective solution
✅ Australian conditions tested
Fruit Fly Lure Thickener increases the viscosity of compatible liquid fruit fly attractants.
This thicker solution:
A specially formulated thickening agent designed to extend the life and effectiveness of compatible fruit fly attractants used in monitoring traps.
Traditional fruit fly lures can dry out quickly during hot weather.
Using a thickener helps:
Ideal for:
A food grade thickener that can be added to Fruit Fly Lure mix to improve weathering and longevity in the field.
