1) Place the traps in areas where Drosophila have been seen. Place the traps where they will not be disturbed or tipped.
2) Avoid placing traps over food preparation areas or exposed food to minimize fruit fly activity and attraction in this area. These areas also
have a high degree of human activity, which increases the chance that the trap will be tipped or knocked out of position.
3) Use supplied glue dots to secure the trap in place.
4) Remove the lid to count the number of adults in the trap. If there are a large number of captured flies in a single trap, you may want to strain the
liquid for ease of counting.
5) Record trap counts on a site map.
6) Discard traps after 30-days of use and replace with new traps.
