Torula Yeast Pellets
The olive fruit fly poses a significant threat to olive trees as it is considered a major pest. Originally from the Mediterranean region, where it has been causing problems for centuries, this fly has now spread to other parts of the world. The adult olive fruit fly is not frequently observed, but its impact becomes evident through its egg-laying behavior. It lays eggs just beneath the surface of the olive fruit skin.
Once hatched, the larvae of the olive fruit fly consume the flesh of the olive, leaving behind distinctive brown tracks and tunnels. This damage not only renders the fruit unsuitable for table consumption but also makes it vulnerable to rot and premature dropping. While most noticeable harm occurs in the autumn season, prior to that, infested fruit may only exhibit small spots or punctures. Upon cutting open the fruit, however, the presence of brown lines (tunnels) and maggots becomes apparent.
It is important to note that the olive fruit fly can only reproduce in olives, further emphasizing the significance of controlling its population to protect olive trees and their fruit.
To minimize the population of adult olive flies and minimize fruit damage, various trap options are available. One such trap is the Multilure trap, also known as the McPhail-type trap. This trap consists of a water reservoir that contains torula yeast pellets as a food attractant. Additionally, a pheromone lure can be included to enhance its effectiveness.
Torula Yeast is conveniently manufactured in pellet form, making it easy to use. The recommended ratio for torula yeast pellets is 4 pellets per 250 milliliters of water. This ensures optimal attraction and efficacy of the trap.

If you have any further inquiries or require additional information regarding the use of these traps or torula yeast pellets, please feel free to reach out to us.
Composition: 50% Borax, 45% Torula, 5% excipients
Torula is available for purchase in two options:
1. By the pound
2. By the drum.
When buying by the pound, you can expect to receive around 90 pellets per pound. Drums, 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.

Building Better Traps for a Better World WITH Sustainable solutions
When Richard Alvarado moved to Fresno from Chicago thirty years ago, his first goal was to get a job. He did just that, putting his engineering background to work for a company that manufactured pheromones and traps. When the company relocated, Alvarado was left with its customer list and equipment, along with a working knowledge of pest control devices, and Better World was formed. Richard and his wife, Janie, initially contracted out the production of their traps and, in true start-up fashion, did the manual work themselves in the living room of their apartment.
​
Today, Better World specializes in providing professional design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions for plastic component production and marketing of insect pest traps that are used throughout the world. The traps are pesticide-free, so they are better for the environment. Because they are patented, demand for Better World products specifically has grown considerably. In 2013, the Alvarados partnered with Cal Cain of Bay Area Development Company and California Bank & Trust to purchase a 53,000-square-foot building, quadrupling the size of their previous location. The additional space allowed Richard to immediately add five new employees to the team as well as bring in new, specialized equipment that will improve efficiencies and greatly expand the company's capabilities. It also gives Richard room to do what he truly loves: talking with customers and innovating on their behalf.
