Hang trap 3 - 4 feet above ground level and hang under the shade. Make sure entry hole should not be obstructed by leaves. Insert one Melon/Oriental Pherodis (pheromone/lure) per trap. Mix 50gm Fruit Fly Attractant in 1.5 litres of water and add to 10 traps per application. Regularly check the bait solution and frequently remove the trapped flies from the Bactosan trap.
