Fruit fly numbers

With all the fruit fly traps we have in place this season, we are certainly catching plenty of fruit flies that have survived winter. Up to 30th September, we recorded a total of 316 fruit flies (slightly more females trapped than males).

It is vital that any unwanted or fallen fruit is picked up now and disposed of properly to reduce the chances of first generation fruit flies surviving to decimate your summer fruits and vegetables. Now is THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME on the fruit fly calendar to drive fruit fly numbers down!
