The adult insect is a fly. The fertilised female lays her eggs just under the skin of the fruit. The larva that hatches feeds and develops, causing very serious damage: gnawed flesh, rot, fruit drop.
Treatment with pheromones is a 100% ecological solution to eliminate this harmful insect.<\/p>\n
The principle is to mimic the volatile substances emitted by the female insect (female pheromone) in order to play a role of recognition and sexual attraction on males.
These are attracted and get trapped and eliminated. This prevents mating, reproduction and thus egg-laying.<\/p>\n
Pheromones are used with a special trap<\/a> and must be applied to the appropriate adhesive refills.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Position the traps when the olives have reached about 8 mm and leave them until harvesting. Use 1 trap per tree, facing north, at the beginning of the season, then thereafter up to 4 traps per tree in late August-early September.<\/p>\n The box contains 2 pheromone capsules. Each capsule is packaged in an airtight bag.<\/p>\n Pheromone sachets can be stored cold (up to 3 years in the fridge – up to 5 years in the freezer).<\/p>\n Dosage: 1 to 2 traps per tree<\/p>\n Treatment period: April to August The adult insect is a fly.
