One trap is for monitoring male fruit flies use one trap with the male lure by a trap clear wafer and a sticky panel insert. The lure is a para-pheromone that primarily attracts the male Queensland fruit fly (bactrocera Tryoni). This lure will attract fruit flies from up to 3-400 meters. Just drop the Biotrap cuelure wafer into the base of the trap to avoid handling the wafer. Importantly, do not contaminate the outside surface of the trap with the lure as the flies will be attracted to the outside of the trap and will not enter the trap. Remove the protective covering on the sticky insert and simply place it in the yellow base of the trap between the holes.
The Biotrap QLD Male Fruit Fly Trap is an effective way to monitor the presence of Queensland fruit flies. The trap should be hung within the foliage of a tree, at a height of approximately 1.2 – 1.5 meters, preferably on the northeastern side (morning sun). The cuelure wafer is effective for approximately 4 months. Check the trap weekly and record numbers if flies are detected or numbers increase appropriate control measures should commence.
This system is only for monitoring it is not a control measure but it is a very useful tool in determining the presence of Queensland fruit flies and the potential population.

Hey Ezekiel,
When controlling fruit flies using traps such as the BioTrap QLD Male Fruit Fly Trap or the BioTrap QLD Female Fruit Fly Trap, the key difference for controlling the two to put it simply boils down to the following;
Male-focused control: Impacts the breeding potential of the population. By removing males, even if the number of females remains high, the lack of fertilization leads to fewer viable offspring. This is a more indirect approach to population control. This can be highly efficient if males are significantly attracted to specific baits or can be easily targeted. This approach is environmentally friendly and highly specific but requires continuous or consistent trapping.
Female-focused control: Has a more direct impact on population dynamics. Controlling females directly reduces the number of eggs laid and therefore the number of future fruit flies. This method can lead to quicker reductions in population size. Potentially offers faster results in population decline because it stops the source of new flies—egg laying. However, it may require more intensive monitoring and replenishment of traps or treatments to maintain effectiveness.
