Barrix Trap is scientifically designed by Barrix R&D Team depending upon the Fruit fly flying pattern and colour attraction and is Design Patent Protected.

Barrix Catch Fruit Fly Trap  can be used to attract and trap pests of the Bactrocera dorsalis with 83 sub species. Commonly known as Fruit Fly, it is a major pest of high risk and causes damages up to 100% pre-harvest damage.

Barrix Catch Fruit Fly Lure 

Through Barrix’s advanced isomer specific pheromone synthesis platform, they  produce high quality isomer 4-Allyl Veratrol pheromone, is a sex pheromone to attract Bactrocera dorsalis and 83 sub species.

They have developed their own method of impregnation of pheromone through capillary impregnation technology by elusive way, which provides increased porosity of lure and more qty of pheromone is entrapped for prolonged, slow and sustained release of pheromone for better performance in the field. Through this process, an initial flash evaporation will occur where a higher dose of pheromone will be released after which there is a constant release of pheromones thereby providing efficacy for 90 days.
