SALVIA 'ELITE DEEP PURPLE'

Protect & Feed Your Citrus With
Insectraps & Fruit & Citrus Food

Natural control for Citrus Gall Wasp & Fruit Fly

Insectrap protects fruit and trees from damage caused by the Citrus Gall Wasp, Fruit Fly (including the Mediteranian Fruit Fly) and other insect pests. It attracts these pests to its glue field and permanently traps them, interrupting their life cycle and reducing their population.
How to use:

Remove Insectrap from its package.
Gently push the enclosure upwards then hold the bottom of the stick with one hand. With the other hand twist the top end to expose the holes.
Hang it on the outer limbs of the branch by its hook.
Discard when outer surface is full of insects and replace with a new one.
Effective for 3 to 4 months from date of use or until full of insects

Make sure to feed your citrus for sping as well with organic Fruit & Citrus Food
