eco-naturalure is a registered organic fruit fly control spray for both male and female flies. It combines specific food based attractants which target only fruit flies, and a bacteria derived insecticide, spinosad. No withholding period. Controls both Queensland and Mediterranean fruit flies.How it Workseco-naturalure contains specific food attractants and a natural insecticide (spinosad). Fruit flies are attracted to the food source, where they land and begin eating. Once ingested the insecticide disrupts their nervous system, resulting in rapid fly death.The food attractants in eco-naturalure are extremely good at attracting fruit flies that are in the area. This means that only very small amounts of eco-naturalure are needed to control fruit flies in your garden or orchard.Advantages*Attracts and kills both male and female fruit flies.*Controls Queensland and Mediterranean fruit flies.*Registered organic (BFA).*No withholding period.*Economical.*Easy to use.*Safe for beneficial insects and animals.How to Useeco-naturalure is used as a preventative spray. It is designed to kill fruit flies before they attack the fruit. It is important to commence spraying before fruit becomes attractive to the flies. For fruit trees (eg stone fruit and citrus) this usually means 6-8 weeks before harvesting time. For other crops (eg tomatoes and capsicum) commence spraying just before they change colour, and continue throughout the season. Please note that these are general guidelines and it may be worth confirming timing of sprays in your area with your local nursery.Small Areas/Individual Plants - Apply as a spot spray every 7 days (re-apply after rain). Spots can be sprayed onto foliage or hard surfaces (eg fences). Fruit does not need to be sprayed. We don't recommend spraying onto metal fences or very absorbant woods as the droplets will dry out too quickly.Each spot should be 1 sq metre and consist of 7ml of eco-naturalure to 43ml of water. Set spray nozzle to coarse droplet size.Two 1 sq metre spots (spaced apart) will protect 100 sq metre.Larger Areas - 1litre of eco-naturalure will treat 1 ha (150spots/ha).Note: Some fruit (including mangoes and pears) can be superficially blemished by the spray. To avoid this we recommend only spraying foliage or hard surfaces, not the fruit itself. If spraying foliage, rotate the positioning of the spot so that the same leaves are not sprayed each time. This will prevent a buildup of sooty mould which can sometimes occur. More Info
