The Mac-Phail Trap is a specialized fruit fly trap designed for effective monitoring and mass trapping of Tephritid fruit flies, which cause severe damage to fruit crops. This trap works by luring flies using pheromone lures or food-based baits placed inside the trap. Once attracted, the flies enter the trap and cannot escape, leading to a gradual population decline.

Crafted from transparent UV-stabilized plastic, the Mac-Phail trap provides clear visibility for monitoring fly activity and is suitable for use in both small-scale and commercial farming.
