Mohini Fruit Fly Lure – Effective Mass Trapping of Bactrocera dorsalis in Fruit Crops

Mohini Fruit Fly Lure is a pheromone-based trapping solution crafted to control the Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis)—a highly destructive pest that damages over 300 fruit crops including mango, banana, papaya, guava, citrus, and more. By targeting male flies, Mohini Lure prevents mating and reduces population build-up.

Boost Effectiveness with Food Bait

While the pheromone lure traps male fruit flies, you can also attract female flies by adding food bait to the trap:

• Mix food bait with water and pour into the yellow base of the trap.
• Keep the bait moist by refilling as needed, especially during hot weather.

Economic Impact of Fruit Flies

Fruit flies lay eggs in fruit through oviposition punctures. The resulting maggots tunnel through the pulp, rendering fruit unmarketable. Their rapid life cycle allows quick outbreaks, causing heavy economic losses if unmanaged. Mohini Lure provides preventive control through mass trapping.

Safe, Sustainable & Cost-Effective

This lure offers a non-toxic, residue-free alternative to chemical pesticides. Safe for farm workers, consumers, and beneficial insects, Mohini Fruit Fly Lure is a must-have for modern orchard protection.
