Wild May Fruit Fly Control System
The Wild May Fruit Fly Control System is an organic, pesticide free system for controlling the Queensland fruit fly, Bacterocera tryoni. This native Australian attacks a wide range of fruits in particular peaches, nectarines, plums, citrus and guavas to name a few.
Wild May is a male attractant; it works by attracting and killing all the male flies, including juveniles before they can breed. As the female needs to breed before she lays her eggs if there are no male flies present in an orchard she will have to leave the site in search of a male elsewhere. This eliminates the need for expensive sprays to protect fruits. The traps are simple to use and cost effective as a means to protect an orchard. It is recommended to use four traps per hectare. These can be purchase as a kit or home made from a plastic drink bottle. Hang traps upwind in a shaded branch on the eastern side of a tree approximately 1.2 meters off the ground. Pour 20mm of attractant into the base of the trap, this level of fluid will need to be maintained throughout the year, top-up 
when it drops to 15mm. Do not let the traps dry out. When recharging the traps remove dead flies from the liquid taking care not to spill any of the liquid on the ground as this will attract flies.
Wild May is BFA registered so it is a product suitable for use by all organic produces and home gardeners. It will not harm other beneficial bugs and insects.

This male fruit fly trap is easy to use and it does not require any maintenance once it has been installed. The trap is completely self-contained; with a fully encased wick impregnated with Q-Lure (Queensland fruit fly sex pheromone), and a toxicant that quickly kills males upon entering the trap. The current toxicant is not organic however Organic Crop Protectants are currently looking at organic alternatives. The trap is secure and the wick is not exposed, so there is no potential for food contamination and minimal exposure to other animals and insects in the garden,

Eco Neem is a broad spectrum, botanically based insecticide made from a neem tree extract. eco-neem is very different to other ‘crude’ neem oil based sprays because it is a pure extract stabilised in a vegetable oil based carrier making it very effective at low rates . eco-neem controls sucking pests and chewing pests like caterpillars and grasshoppers and exhibits systemic qualities when drenched into the soil to control soil borne insects and borers.
eco-neem is safe to beneficial insects replacing the toxic residual sprays that are harmful to bees, ladybeetles and other good bugs in your garden.
