The Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is the major pest of many economic fruit crops in Taiwan. A large number of female and male flies were trapped by using fruit net-bags with sticky paper (guava-sticky-bag) and thus significantly reduced the percentage of infested fruits by 19~57% in the guava orchard. Screen-house tests showed that putting a bag at 20 m apart and replenishing the fruit bait every 7~10 days, could capture more than 97% of female and male files in the orchard and was more effective than using the protein hydrolysate bait. The experiments showed that the method was effective when used in the guava orchard. The method was also effective in reducing the fruit fly population in other orchards such as sapodilla, carambola, citrus, persimmon and loofah.
