Take a peek over the fence of most South Aussie backyards and you’re more often than not going to spot a citrus tree growing in the ground or a pot.

As South Australians we know the importance of keeping our state fruit fly free. A number of recent outbreaks in the metropolitan area have highlighted the need for us all to be vigilant. Kim shows you how you can do your part by hanging a Brunnings On-Guard Mediterranean Fruit Fly Trap in your fruit tree. It comes with a hanger, sticky traps and a specially formulated lure to catch the pesky fruit flies.

There always seems to be something wanting to attack our fruit, well it’s time to fight back with the On-Guard Mediterranean Fruit Fly Trap from Brunnings, available at your local garden centre or hardware store.
