Effective, selective and residue-free control of mediterranean, marula and natal fruit flies has been demonstrated in commercial citrus, mango, grape and other sub-tropical fruit orchards. Formulations have also been developed for trapping these species in detection and monitoring programs.

Species 1: Diptera Tephritidae Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly, medfly)
Species 2: Diptera Tephritidae Ceratitis cosyra (mango fruit fly, marula fruit fly)
Species 3: Diptera Tephritidae Ceratitis rosa (natal fruit fly)
Keywords: attract and kill, fruit fly control
