Characteristics
 CeraTrap® is a specific bait for capturing Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata).
CeraTrap® is an effective and 100% ecological product for controlling Med fruit fly.
The evaporation of CeraTrap® releases a series of volatile compounds, mostly amines and organic acids which attract the adult flies, especially females. CeraTrap® is applied inside the trap (fly trap or bottles with holes) to facilitate the release of volatile components and trap the flies.
