Question 1

Tons of flies hang around my cherry tree, and lately they have been injecting eggs into the fruit. Would this clear it up? How and when should I use ?

Accepted Answer

Ahh... the Cherry Fruit Fly.  There's not a lot to go on, research-wise, but what there is points to yes, with more specific research being conducted with braconid wasps (different family).  If you're loathe to spray your tree, give these a whirl. Worst case scenario, you introduce a very beneficial insect to your land. ---- I'd also recommend looking up the other non-spray methods of control - mostly clearing the area of all fruit at the end of the season, giving a good pruning, and plant some beneficial-insect-attracting plants next year. A small patch of Fennel and Dill serves any garden very well (just plant it -near- the garden, not -in- the garden.)

Question 2

Do these things work at all against squash vine borers? Also do they attack the eggs or just the moth?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they will lay their eggs on squash vine borders, which then kills the eggs before they hatch.

Question 3

If i order this item, can it only arrive with t. platneri/t. minutum? or will it be 1 card of each of the 3 species?

Accepted Answer

It will be all of one type, not mixed.

Question 4

Do these have to be used immediately, or can they be stored for a while?

Accepted Answer

You can release them over time.  I release about a third of them, then store them in a dark cool place, add a little water to the cotton ball.  I keep them in the box they come in. Put the box outside to warm up about 15 min. before re- releasing them.  Then release another third of them a week later. Repeat.  They store well if kept cool, dark and undisturbed.  Dont forget to add a few drops of water between releases.
