CAPITATA Pro Caps® is a food attractant for the capture of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). This species can feed on more than 300 species, but is commonly found on stone fruits such as peaches, pears, apricots, apples, persimmons, figs, citrus fruits, and also on grapes.
CAPITATA Pro Caps® guarantees a constant and prolonged release of the food attractant, ensuring optimal efficiency in pest monitoring. This innovative product mimics the substances
produced by the host plant to attract a specific insect, allowing both male and female pests to be attracted. In the case of the Mediterranean fruit fly, males have a gregarious behavior
. Consequently, they are more attracted to the trap than females.
In situations of high pest pressure, applying a curative treatment and measuring its efficacy is beneficial.
CAPITATA Pro Caps® stands out not only for its effectiveness, but also for its commitment to the environment, as it is completely biodegradable. Easy storage at room temperature
