Disposable Apple Maggot Trap Kit 25 Apples, 25 Wire Holders, Two cans of Adhesive.

Easy to assemble, spread glue, and hang. I also bait mine with a cotton ball soaked in liquid ammonium carbonate (smelling salts) from a dropper when I check the traps daily. The maggot fly arrived here in the Upper Fraser Valley in BC a week ago. The traps work better with the attractant. The applicator for the sticking compound is great, and lasts through the rain. I have been using re-useable traps previously and these are easier to use and bait. Highly recommended. Great value for money.Update: July 6th, 2019: I no longer use the metal hangers, but make a hole in the folded top and make a stem out of thin green wire. I twist it to make a rigid stem, and hang it from a god branch, using the excess wire to hook over the branch and wrap it around the stem again No sign of apple maggot in the orchard yet, but I hung my traps too late last year. Plastic Christmas (balls from the thrift shop) coated with tanglefoot work, but you have to devise a better hanger than the ball comes with.

These were easy to assemble and coat with the provided goop. The bugs really like them.

Coddling Moths come in twice per year. The adults arrive early to lay their eggs. If the Tagglefoot sticky traps are put up prior to the Apples starting the adults get stuck on the trap and no eggs are laid. This is the first year we have used them and they worked perfectly! If you have an organic orchard or not these are well worth getting. Many of the supply companies sell them 3 for 19.95. Buying the 25 pack just makes sense. I highly recommend them.Update on the sticky traps: It's now July 19th, I have 18 apple trees with the traps on them. Every trap has 1 to 12 moths on them but only one apple was attacked. These are well worth the money.Update December 2021: I have now used these for the past 8 years. They are the #1 best deterrent I use.We used to loose about 1/2 of our crop. Now we only loose about 10 percent. I love that my Grandkids can just walk through the orchard and pick the fruit and eat it.Yes there are times when I do spray but some years (like this one) I did not spray even once. All of the apples and pears came out great. The plums did get attacked by raccoons but that is a whole different issue.If you want the safest, and in my opinion, best pest control, this is it.

This kit is cheap enough that you don't need to scrape the bugs off the round spheres and re-apply the Tangle Trap. Just throw the used ones away at the end of the season and start again fresh the next year.(You could pay $15 per sphere and it might be made from a heavier plastic, but then you wouldn't feel good about throwing it away after one use. I once spent an hour dipping the expensive ones in gasoline and scraping the bugs off. Not going there again!) Lures are no longer needed and the spheres still get covered in bugs. The metal holders used to attach the spheres to the tree branches work very well and are easier than threading wire through holes to tie them to branches. Highly recommended.

Great item be ready to clean or replace bugs may stick fast.Get the traps out before blossoms and after. I needed to add more words to this posting I guess simple is not good enough so I will just wast space rambling about nothing at all so if you are bored please keep reading if you are not and have other things to do the first six words summed it all up. Just saying. Hope that a Twenty word minimum is not necessary for all ratings or I will just copy and paste this to all of them and or not respond to the rating which is sad because I value other peoples experience and I have made choices in respect to the choices and experience such as how the transaction went if it was good and no problems I do not feel some one needs to write a book about it. Maybe just a simple it was good or if not than some details to understand the why. Some peoples expectations can just be ridiculous like ordered today and did not see anything at the door at noon. My initial need to be wordy was not there until I was provoked to tell more maybe I had said enough with only six words. This provocation has just lead to a need to fill up as much virtual space as needed or allowed maybe next time my six words will be just enough to get the point across by the way I realize my sentences are run on's. I am OK with this I may even sleep well tonight with the idea. Back to the twenty word minimum. Is it really necessary to require so many words to get a rating. Is there a statistical significance to twenty words maybe the the world just needs dissertations on simple goods even if I did not want to write twenty words about this item I kind of thought the six summed up the product but somewhere there is somebody that fells that maybe that is not good enough that there is more that we need to dig deeper and pull out our feelings and emotions to spill our true selves. Are some of us short winded folks just not worthy maybe just finding 20 words to describe the item is not there could it just be good enough to be simple no need for complexity or be to wordy or feeling that less than TWENTY words does not justify a response. how could the world be so cruel to Nineteen word or less responders. I have not rated many items and have only recently found others experiences to my benefit. only when bad do I spend time reading the book otherwise tell me if you like it or not.

Over two seasons these collected a lot of bugs on my Asian pear and apple trees, yet did little to stop major apple maggot damage. I finally found success using fruit socks or booties. These were time consuming but worth it at harvest time.

This worked on my peach tree, but not on my apple tree. Not able to determine that it actually worked on the peach tree, but the peaches didn't have any bugs after using it. Apples still had black cores. I tried something else this year. Too early to tell if the spray worked this year.

easy to put out seem to collect a lot of leaves and other things and some insects. still need to spray for other bugs that aren't attracted to the red balls. still have lots of worms in the small apples. These are not very durable either one maybe two seasons of use will be all I get out of them.
