Can anyone suggest a source for pheromone traps for cherry fruit fly? Can't find any here. I'm in Eugene but could order. Thanks, Ann

Ann:
I do not know of a pheromone trap for cherry fruit fly. But... some research was done a few years ago and it was found that a red four (4) inch ball coated with tanglefoot or other sticky stuff traped more cherry fruit flies tha other sized traps.

Since the cherry furit fly is a cousin of the apple maggot fly, I am currently (as I type) using a four inch red ball with the apple maggot attractant attached to see if I can catch more cherry fruit flies.

So far no results.

Ann: Greetings from Seattle.... Try the following web site gemplers.com They have alot of pherome traps of various shapes and sizes. Prompt service from Chicago... raintree has a good buy on red spheres as well.

Thanks Pete, that's a very interesting website. Ann
