My loquat tree is loaded with fruit and I am going to ensure that I don’t let the Medfly (Mediterranean fruit fly) lay their eggs in my fruit.
It is a two pronged attack on the little blighters*….foliage spray and sticky baits.
I have made up a mix of sugar and Pyrethrum and sprayed most of the foliage which should attract and kill ‘em. I bought two traps which contain a lure and a very sticky surface which is already grabbing medfly.
The Medfly is thought to have originated in Africa.
