How does it work? Efekto eco fruitfly bait gf-120 works by tricking the insect into absorbing the spinosad that has been combined with an irresistible bait. After she emerges from her pupal case in the soil, the female fly looks to feed on a source of protein before she lays her eggs. When she eats the protein and sugar bait in efekto eco fruitfly bait gf-120, she also ingests a dose of the insecticide, which means she never makes it to the egg-laying stage.

Fruit fly baits are nothing new, but many have used a hormone that only attracts male flies (they re the ones that don t lay the eggs!) Or have been based on a nasty chemical. Now efekto eco fruitfly bait gf-120 has a low toxic formulation that really works.

Where can it be used? Fruit trees and cucurbits.
