Torula Yeast/BORAX
TYPE F
Origin and Spread
- The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is a major insect pest of olive trees.
- Native to the Mediterranean region, it has spread to other parts of the world, causing widespread damage.
Life Cycle and Impact
- Egg-Laying: The adult fly lays its eggs just beneath the skin of the olive fruit.
- Larvae Damage: Once hatched, larvae feed on the olive flesh, leaving:
- Brown tracks and tunnels.
- Visible spots or punctures on the fruit surface.
Consequences of Infestation
- Fruit Damage:
- Renders olives unsuitable for table use.
- Increases vulnerability to rot and premature fruit drop.
- Seasonal Impact:
- Damage is most noticeable in autumn.
- Early stages show minor surface spots but reveal maggots and brown tunnels upon cutting the fruit.
Importance of Control
- Olive fruit flies reproduce exclusively in olives, making it essential to manage their population to safeguard olive crops.
To minimize the population of adult olive flies and minimize fruit damage, various trap options are available. One such trap is the Multilure™ trap, also known as the McPhail-type trap. This trap consists of a water reservoir that contains torula yeast pellets as a food attractant. Additionally, a pheromone lure can be included to enhance its effectiveness.
Torula Yeast is conveniently manufactured in pellet form, making it easy to use. The recommended ratio for torula yeast pellets is 4 pellets per 250 milliliters of water. This ensures optimal attraction and efficacy of the trap.
If you have any further inquiries or require additional information regarding the use of these traps or torula yeast pellets, please feel free to reach out to us.
"We use control measures to reduce the environmental impact of fruit flies of economic importance."
Torula is available for purchase in two options:
1. By the pound
2. By the drum.
When buying by the pound, you can expect to receive around 90 pellets per pound. Drums, on the other hand, are sold in quantities of 30 pounds. If you have any additional questions or require further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Torula Yeast – Powder Form Instructions
The Torula Yeast is now available in powder form. For each trap, add two bags of powder (each bag contains 10g) along with 250 ml of water.
The use of Better Glycol is optional and recommended based on climate conditions. In hot or dry regions, we suggest adding Better Glycol to help reduce evaporation and maintain trap effectiveness.
This formulation is intended for use with Multilure™ traps.

Why use pheromone traps ?
Our trapping systems serve as an environmentally friendly tool to reduce or eliminate the need for harmful sprays and chemicals.
For optimal results, traps should be deployed prior to the expected emergence of your target insect pest. Early deployment enables the detection of initial pest activity, allowing for timely and informed management decisions.
Pheromone traps utilize synthetic chemicals that mimic natural insect pheromones to lure pests into the trap. These specially designed traps are highly effective in capturing target insect species and are a critical component of integrated pest management strategies. By monitoring pest populations and reducing their numbers, pheromone traps help protect crops and maintain ecological balance.
Can your traps be used in urban areas?
Yes, our traps are versatile and can be effectively deployed in both agricultural and urban environments.
While they are ideal for managing insect infestations in fields, orchards, and home gardens, their use in urban settings such as parks, neighborhoods, and public spaces is typically managed by government agencies. This is because only authorized agencies are permitted to deploy traps in urban areas as part of official monitoring and eradication programs for insect pests of economic importance.
Our traps are specifically designed to target select pest species without harming beneficial or non-target organisms, making them a safe and responsible option for integrated insect pest management.
