Mysora Apple Maggot Trap Deluxe Kit — 13.6 oz (2×6.8 oz) Sticky Balloon Traps with 10 Red Balloons & Heat‑Resistant Glue

Designed for backyard growers, small orchards, and greenhouse gardeners, this all-in-one kit includes two 6.8 oz bottles of high-tack glue with brush-cap applicators, ten red attraction balloons with hanging handles, and two pairs of XL nitrile gloves for mess-free setup. The adhesive stays viscous in warm weather to avoid drips while presenting a sticky surface that insects stick to after being lured by the balloon's color. The system is simple to set up, low-cost to maintain, and chemical-free, making it a practical option for seasonal pest monitoring and reduction.

How does the trap capture apple maggots and fruit flies?

The trap relies on color attraction and a durable adhesive. Red balloons draw visually oriented pests, and the glue secures them on contact. It’s a passive, physical capture method rather than a pesticide application.

• Red balloons mimic fruit and attract flies that seek hosts.
• High-tack, heat-resistant glue prevents dripping and retains stickiness.
• Insects land on the coated balloon and become immobilized by the adhesive.

How do I set up the Mysora balloon traps effectively?

Setup is straightforward and requires only the kit contents. Inflate a balloon, brush on a uniform layer of glue, and hang it where fruit or flowering plants are concentrated. Replace balloons as they fill with trapped insects or become damaged.

• Inflate each red balloon to a medium size so the surface is smooth.
• Use the brush-cap to apply a continuous, even coat of glue.
• Hang balloons at canopy height where fruit and foliage are most dense.
• Wear the included nitrile gloves for clean application and disposal.

Will the glue handle hot weather and outdoor conditions?

Yes — the adhesive formula is formulated to remain thick and tacky in warm outdoor conditions so it won’t run off surfaces. That makes it suitable for summer monitoring and long-duration hangs in exposed orchards and gardens.

• Heat-resistant chemistry reduces dripping in high temperatures.
• Thick consistency maintains capture efficiency over days or weeks.
• Brush-cap applicator helps control coating thickness and coverage.

What maintenance and replacement steps should I follow?

Check balloons regularly; when many insects accumulate or the surface is soiled, remove and replace. Dispose of used balloons responsibly and re-coat new balloons as needed. Store glue upright and capped to preserve viscosity between uses.

• Inspect traps weekly during peak pest activity.
• Remove and replace balloons when saturated or dirty.
• Cap glue bottles after use and store in a cool, dry place.
• Use gloves to avoid adhesive contact with skin or furniture.

Who is this for: The Mysora Apple Maggot Trap Deluxe Kit is aimed at home orchardists, small-scale farmers, community gardeners, and anyone growing apples, cherries, or other susceptible fruit who wants a low-toxicity, easy-to-deploy option for monitoring and reducing fruit-damaging insects. It’s also useful for greenhouse operators and patio gardeners seeking a straightforward physical trap without sprays.
