OakStump Farms Apple Maggot Trap, set of 3

Description

OakStump Farms Apple Maggot Traps Apple Maggots are a type of fruit fly that attack apples, blueberries, hawthorn, plums, pears and cherries. The fly is smaller than a housefly and appears throughout the summer. Most fruits are attacked by flies that lay their eggs during late spring to early summer. Apple maggots cause extensive fruit damage that renders fruit useless. The SpringStar Apple Maggot trap and lure set have proven effective at reducing apple maggot damage. Flies are attracted by the lures and come to a sticky demise on the juicy-looking apple sphere. The reusable trap includes OakStump Farms one-season, controlled-release lure system. Directions: Place traps in trees 1 or 2 weeks before bud break in early spring, and leave out until harvest time. Package contains a set of 3 traps and 3 lures.
