Fly Traps for Citrus Orchards
House and blow flies breed in days in warm New Zealand weather and carry bacteria from waste to food, stock and surfaces. In Citrus, a single fly near food or customers is one too many — and a spray isn't the answer.
Place a reusable trap near bins, waste and entry points where flies breed and enter — not where people sit or eat.
Empty and refresh the liquid bait weekly in peak summer; flies breed in 7–10 days, so consistent catching breaks the cycle.
Keep waste sealed and surfaces clean. The trap does the catching, but good hygiene stops the breeding.
