Apple essence lure for use with red ball traps. Works up to 12 weeks to attract apple maggot flies. National List
Hang the red ball traps in the proximity of fruit, at eye level, on the south or southeast side of the tree. For large, mature trees, use up to 6 traps per tree. If using more than one trap per tree, place some traps facing a wooded or brushy area.
Hang each red ball trap on a sturdy stem about 12" above a dense patch of fruitlets, and remove any foliage to create a leaf-free area that is at least 18" in diameter.
The apple maggot lure increases the efficacy of the red ball traps by attracting flies from a distance; use a maximum of one lure per tree. Remove the lure from its clear plastic wrapper, but do not remove the white foil; the apple essence scent penetrates the white foil. Hang the lure on a limb so that the lure is closer to the trunk than the red ball traps are.
