Torula Yeast/BORAX
TYPE F
Torula Yeast Attractants for Olive Fruit Fly Monitoring
Effective, Eco-Friendly Lures for Improved Trap Performance
Torula yeast—available in
inactive pellets and
powder—is one of the most widely used food-based attractants for monitoring and reducing olive fruit fly populations. When mixed with water inside traps, torula yeast releases natural fermentation odors that are highly attractive to adult flies.
How Torula Yeast Works
Food-Based Attraction
Olive fruit flies are strongly attracted to protein sources, especially during egg-laying periods. Torula yeast provides a consistent, long-lasting source of these protein odors, drawing both male and female flies into traps.
Fermentation Release
When pellets or powder dissolve in water, they create a slow fermentation process that produces:
- Strong food-related odors
- Steady attraction over multiple weeks
- Increased trap catch rates
Pellets | Powder
Torula Yeast Pellets
- Long-lasting, controlled release
- Easy to handle and measure
- Dissolve gradually in trap water
- Ideal for growers needing low-maintenance, extended field performance
Torula Yeast Powder
- Fast-dissolving and highly active
- Strong initial attraction
- Can be mixed to desired strength
- Great for intensive monitoring or high-pressure pest periods
Benefits of Using Torula Yeast for Olive Fruit Fly Control
- Non-toxic, environmentally safe attractant
- Targets both genders, improving trap accuracy
- Compatible with Multi-lure traps
- Supports integrated pest management (IPM) programs
- Reduces the need for chemical sprays by enhancing early detection
A Key Tool for Protecting Olive Crops
Using torula yeast attractants inside monitoring traps helps growers:
- Detect infestations early
- Monitor population trends
- Make timely management decisions
- Reduce crop damage and preserve fruit quality
Combined with effective trap design, torula yeast pellets and powder offer growers a reliable, eco-friendly solution for managing olive fruit fly pressure throughout the season.
Torula is available for purchase in two options:
1. By the pound
2. By the bucket.
When buying by the pound, you can expect to receive around 90 pellets per pound. Buckets, on the other hand, are sold in quantities of 30 pounds. If you have any additional questions or require further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Why use pheromone traps ?
Our trapping systems serve as an environmentally friendly tool to reduce or eliminate the need for harmful sprays and chemicals.
For optimal results, traps should be deployed prior to the expected emergence of your target insect pest. Early deployment enables the detection of initial pest activity, allowing for timely and informed management decisions.
Pheromone traps utilize synthetic chemicals that mimic natural insect pheromones to lure pests into the trap. These specially designed traps are highly effective in capturing target insect species and are a critical component of integrated pest management strategies. By monitoring pest populations and reducing their numbers, pheromone traps help protect crops and maintain ecological balance.
Can your traps be used in urban areas?
Yes, our traps are versatile and can be effectively deployed in both agricultural and urban environments.
While they are ideal for managing insect infestations in fields, orchards, and home gardens, their use in urban settings such as parks, neighborhoods, and public spaces is typically managed by government agencies. This is because only authorized agencies are permitted to deploy traps in urban areas as part of official monitoring and eradication programs for insect pests of economic importance.
Our traps are specifically designed to target select pest species without harming beneficial or non-target organisms, making them a safe and responsible option for integrated insect pest management.
