Application
- The trap should be placed at a height just above the height of the crop, the trap can be raised by sliding the spring up the pole as the crop grows
- Replace the traps as required once Carrot root fly is observed

There are normally two generations of carrot fly a year. The first generation appears late April/early May and the second towards late July/August (depending on geographic location). Carrot Fly traps should be placed during these periods.
