30ml Fruit Fly Trap Bait Liquid with Fructose and Sorbitol for Indoor Drosophila Control
This 30ml bottle contains a pre-mixed liquid bait formulated to attract common fruit flies, specifically Drosophila species, in domestic environments. The product is designed for use with compatible trap devices placed in areas where fruit flies are typically problematic, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and around waste bins. The core formula relies on sugar-based attractants, namely fructose and sorbitol, to draw flies towards the trap. Additional ingredients include carbomer as a viscosity-modifying agent, triethanolamine for pH adjustment, saccharin sodium as an artificial sweetener to enhance attraction, and disodium edetate which acts as a chelating agent and preservative stabiliser. The bait is supplied ready for use, requiring no dilution or preparation before placing it in a trap.
Features and Construction
The product's primary specification is its 30ml liquid capacity, packaged in a single bottle. The formulation is a blend of specific ingredients with defined roles in creating an effective attractant for fruit flies.
Material and Build
The bait is a water-based liquid containing fructose and sorbitol as the main carbohydrate attractants. Carbomer is included to modify the consistency of the solution. Triethanolamine adjusts the pH level of the mixture. Saccharin sodium contributes additional sweet taste properties to complement the natural sugars. Disodium edetate is incorporated to bind metal ions, helping to maintain the stability and shelf life of the liquid formulation.
Size and Practical Fit
The total volume provided is 30ml, contained within one bottle. This quantity is intended for use with a single trap or may be used to refill a trap reservoir, depending on the design of the compatible trap unit. The product is intended for indoor, domestic settings where small fruit flies are a nuisance.
Uses and Placement
The bait is designed for use in areas of the home where fruit flies commonly gather, typically where ripe fruit, moist organic matter, or fermenting liquids are present.
Event or Professional Use
While primarily for home use, the bait could be utilised in any indoor setting suffering from Drosophila infestations, such as small food service areas, office kitchenettes, or hospitality settings where fruit is displayed. Its use is contingent on having a compatible trapping device to hold the liquid.
Everyday Home Use
The most relevant applications are in domestic kitchens near fruit bowls, compost caddies, or recycling bins, in bathrooms where dampness may occur, and near any indoor waste collection points. The bait works by attracting flies to the trap into which it is placed.
Benefits and Buying Value
The value lies in providing a specific, pre-formulated attractant designed for a particular pest, eliminating guesswork in creating homemade bait solutions.
Reuse and Low Maintenance
The 30ml bottle represents a single supply of bait. Its longevity depends on the evaporation rate and consumption rate within the trap system used. The inclusion of a preservative (disodium edetate) aims to prolong the usable life of the liquid once exposed. The bottle is a one-time purchase component of a broader pest control setup.
Why Choose This Product
This product offers a formulated solution over homemade sugar-water mixes, containing specific attractants (fructose, sorbitol, saccharin) and stabilisers intended for effectiveness and consistency. It is a convenient option for users who prefer a ready-made bait for their fruit fly traps, with a clear 30ml quantity.
