Go Natural Insectrap Pesticide-Free Citrus Gall Wasp & Fruit Fly Trap

Go Natural Insectrap: Pesticide-Free Trap for Citrus Gall Wasp & Fruit Fly

Go Natural Insectrap is a non-toxic, pesticide-free way to protect your fruit trees from two of the most damaging garden pests: citrus gall wasp and fruit fly. Instead of spraying chemicals, it uses a natural attractant and a sticky yellow surface to draw pests in and trap them, so you can reduce pest numbers around your trees without poisons or harmful chemicals near your food.

The trap is built as an enclosure cage, which is a deliberate design feature. It lets the target pests in to the sticky lure while helping prevent accidental trapping of larger wildlife and beneficial, non-target insects. The attractant is released through holes in the top and lasts around 3 to 4 months from opening, so a single trap keeps working through the key part of the season without constant topping up.

It's especially valuable for citrus growers dealing with gall wasp, which lays eggs in new citrus stems and causes the tell-tale swollen galls that weaken trees, and for anyone protecting stone fruit, citrus and other fruit from fruit fly. Timing the trap with the pest's active season is the key to getting ahead of an infestation.

How to Set Up

Remove the trap from its packaging and twist open the top to expose the holes that release the attractant. Hang the trap on an outer limb of the tree you want to protect, out in the open where flying pests can find it easily, rather than buried in dense foliage. For best coverage, use one or more traps per tree depending on its size. Leave the trap in place through the pest's active season and replace or refresh the attractant once it's spent, roughly every 3 to 4 months.

Timing It Right

These pests are seasonal, so the trap works best when it's up and active before numbers build. For citrus gall wasp, that means having traps in place in spring as the adult wasps emerge and begin laying in new growth. For fruit fly, hang traps as fruit begins to develop and ripen. Getting traps out early, rather than reacting once damage appears, gives you the best chance of keeping populations down. Combine trapping with good garden hygiene, such as removing and disposing of affected fruit and pruning out galls, for stronger results.
