After spraying the Great ® Fruit Fly Bait, both male and female Chinese Citrus Fly are observed to feeding on the bait.

The special odor is irresistible to them and the liquid droplets at suitable size can be easily accessed by their spongy mouthparts.

While the bait is area-wide used, all the fruit flies are attracted to feed on the bait and got killed by the tiny amount of killing agent inside.
