SpringStar Apple Maggot Traps

Apple Maggot is a type of fruit fly that attack apples, blueberries, hawthorn, plums, pears and cherries. They cause extensive fruit damage that renders fruit useless. The fly is smaller than a housefly and appears throughout the summer. Most fruits are attacked by flies that lay their eggs during late spring to early summer. Traps should be placed in mid-April, before apple fruiting, but can be placed at any time through the year. Leave traps out until harvest.

The SpringStar Apple Maggot trap and lure set have proven effective at reducing apple maggot damage. Flies are attracted by the lures and come to a sticky demise on the juicy-looking apple sphere.

The reusable trap includes our one-season, controlled-release lure system. Place traps in trees 1 or 2 weeks before bud break in early spring, and leave out until harvest time.

The SpringStar kit comes with three traps, three hooks, a 6 oz. tube of spreadable glue, and three lures.

The SpringStar Apple Maggot Lure is a one-season, controlled-release lure system. Do not open the plastic vial - attractant is released through the plastic. Place traps in tree 1 or 2 weeks before bud break, in early spring. Hang the trap 1 to 2 feet inside the tree canopy, near apples. Check for flies every 2 to 3 days and, if necessary, apply additional appropriate treatments to control flies. Re-glue trap when full of insects, when it becomes dusty or at least every 4 weeks.

Tangle-Trap® Insect Trap Coating can be purchased separately.
