Use for
Use the Moskisan trap for monitoring and trapping Mediterranean fruit fly in combination with species-specific lure.
Pests
Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata).
Crops
Various fruits, coffee.
How it works
Mode of action
The Moskisan trap needs to be used in combination with Pherodis lure dispensers. The dispensers release a species-specific lure which attracts the male fruit flies into the trap. Once in the trap they cannot escape and are easy to detect, count and identify. Trapping males also aids in reducing the number of eggs laid by famles as they fail to mate.
