Stone and pome fruits are grown throughout the temperate regions of the world; and are highly valued for the taste and plentiful flowering bouts. Yet these delicious fruits are attacked from within by tiny enemies, lowering the value of the fruit or making it completely unmarketable. These fruit-pests are mostly the true fruit flies, including the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) and the peach fruit fly (Bactrocera zonata).
As the pest develops inside the fruit, applying pest control against adults as soon as they emerge is paramount to reduce damage in the field.
