Now that springtime has arrived, are you getting ready to prep your fruit trees from unwanted pests? It's the perfect time to get started and be ready for the upcoming summer season. At Ladd Research Industries, we have a variety of organic insect control products, to help with those pesky insects such as the apple maggot fly, codling moths, Japanese beetles and more.
Our insect traps are designed to provide the home and commercial fruit grower with the ability to monitor populations of the most invasive pests of apples.
We currently offer 10 different styles of organic insect control traps>. They are all reusable and require replacement spent lures on occasion. Check out the featured video on WCAX from last year. Our current inventory consists of the following products:

We recommend a monitoring & trap-out strategy for your apple pests so you can track the progress. Five weeks after the petals fall, hang a trap on the south side of the tree at eye level, using one trap per planting up to once acre. Check the trap daily. Keep a log of the number of flies captured.Then apply an approved spray 7 days after the first fly is caught. Repeat your sprays at 10 to 14 day intervals if flies continue to be captured. We also suggest monitoring your strategy for the apple maggot fly as well. However, this strategy will only work for the apple maggot fly and only for those orchards that have received working pest management during the previous two years.
