Mass Trapping for Fruit Fly Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Trapping and the Detection, Control, and Regulation of Tephritid Fruit Flies

Abstract

This chapter reviews the main methods, trapping devices, and effectiveness of the mass trapping technique along with the history of mass trapping applied to fruit flies. Since the success of mass trapping depends heavily on the type of trap and bait used, studies addressing these parameters are summarized. Based on the authors’ personal experiences and the most relevant studies, we present an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of mass trapping and comment on the implementation strategies that may influence its effectiveness.
