10/04/25
The 960 Vector Fruit Fly Trap, manufactured by BASF, is engineered with a 10-hole venting lid to optimize Fruit Fly exposure to the vapors emitted from the liquid attractant.
The 960 Vector Fruit Fly Trap is designed to attract adult fruit flies from short distances and, by counting and mapping infestation levels, to pinpoint specific sources of infestation.
Tools Needed
No other application tools are necessary as this fruit fly trap comes ready to use.
How to Use
- Step 1: Tear off the foil seal and attach the 10-hole venting lid, which is ready for placement. Be careful not to spill the liquid attractant. For a more secure placement, use the glue dots included in each case.
- Step 2: Place the traps in areas where Fruit Flies have been seen. Place the traps where they will not be disturbed or tipped.
- Step 3: Remove the lid to count the number of adults in the trap. If there are a large number of captured flies in a single trap, you may want to strain the liquid for ease of counting.
- Step 4: Discard traps after 30 days of use and replace them with new traps if necessary.
Where to Use
Traps are most effective when placed near breeding sites. They can be placed behind or under bars, beverage centers, dishwashers, food displays, food service islands, sinks, ovens, supply racks, vending machines, food preparation tables, etc.
When to Use
Vector 960 Fruit Fly Traps should be used when there is an influx of fruit fly activity in the area.
