Searles Fruit Fly Wick

Searles Fruit Fly Wick

Searles Fruit Fly Wick is an effective, easy-to-use fruit fly attractant and control device designed to help reduce fruit fly numbers in home gardens, orchards, and vegetable patches. The wick slowly releases a powerful attractant that lures male fruit flies, helping break the breeding cycle and protecting fruit and vegetables from damage.

Lightweight, low-maintenance, and long-lasting, the Fruit Fly Wick is ideal for preventative control as well as ongoing monitoring during the growing season.
