Each kit contains forty pre-cut traps, forty wire hangers, and two 10‑ounce aerosol cans of Catch EM sticky coating. The traps are non-toxic, disposable, and made in the USA, designed to be hung in tree canopies before petal drop for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I hang these traps in my orchard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace traps early in the season: ideally before petal-fall on apple and cherry trees so you can intercept the first adult flies. Early placement helps you detect the start of fly activity and informs whether additional management steps are needed.

For larger trees and commercial plantings, density depends on tree size and row spacing; consult extension resources for acreage recommendations.
