“…The efficiency of the use of sex pheromones for detection/monitoring or for mating disruption/mass trapping has already been convincingly demonstrated, such as for olive fly B. oleae (Haniotakis et al, 1991). There is no reason not to reach similar conclusions for a Rhagoletis species, as sex pheromones have been suggested to play a role in the attraction of partners.…”

a b s t r a c tWorldwide economic losses associated with Rhagoletis fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) require an effective means of control. Most conventional insecticides used to control fruit flies have been banned, and fruit producers are seeking new economical fruit fly control options. Bait stations can be a suitable alternative, provided they are affordable, effective and pest-specific. Semiochemicals are important for fruit flies to locate their host fruit and to reproduce. They could therefore be good candidates to improve existing bait stations. In this literature review, we summarize the available data on Rhagoletis semiochemicals, including (1) the kairomones involved in fruit location, (2) mating and sex pheromones and (3) oviposition and host marking pheromones. We present the latest data on the chemical composition of these semiochemicals, as well as some field applications that have been successful at Rhagoletis fly control. Based on the available data on the semiochemicals of Rhagoletis species and other Tephritid flies, we believe that the association of an efficient food attractant with early applications of host marking pheromones could reduce the risk of oviposition that usually occurs rapidly after emergence. Also, traps baited with sex pheromones and/or fruit-associated kairomones could attract and kill emerging individuals. However, analytical work has still to be conducted, as most Rhagoletis semiochemicals have yet to be identified.

“…It is important to bear in mind that the main objective of these traps is capturing as many B. oleae specimens as possible. Thus, the balance between efficacy and side effects must always be taken into account, along with the fact that mass-trapping is a more environmentally friendly control method for B. oleae than conventional chemical control (Haniotakis et al, 1991;Porcel et al, 2009).…”

Tachinid flies are important for biological control of pests, because most species are parasitoids of insects. The objectives of this work were 1) to describe the species of tachinid flies captured by mass trapping devices against the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, in olive groves in Central Spain, and 2) to report on the selectivity of the different devices for this important group of insects. The study was carried out in two olive groves in the province of Madrid ResumenTaquínidos (Diptera) capturados en trampas para trampeo masivo de Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) en olivares del centro de España Los taquínidos son importantes para el control biológico de plagas, ya que en su mayoría son parasitoides de insectos. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1) describir las especies de taquínidos capturados por dispositivos de trampeo masivo para la mosca del olivo, Bactrocera oleae, en olivares del centro de España, y 2) conocer la selectividad de los distintos dispositivos para este grupo de insectos. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante 2005 y 2008 en dos olivares de la provincia de Madrid. Se emplearon cinco dispositivos de trampeo masivo en 2005 y doce en 2008. El número total de especies de taquínidos capturadas fue 66. Algunas de ellas se comentan en detalle en virtud de su especial interés. Se cita por primera vez la presencia en la Península Ibérica de tres especies de taquínidos (Clemelis massilia, Schembria meridionalis y Ceromya flaviseta). Es destacable que el 72,3% de las capturas en 2008 fue de C. massilia. La comparación de los diferentes dispositivos de trampeo masivo indica que ninguno de ellos es selectivo para este importante grupo de parasitoides. El número de taquínidos capturados por trampa y temporada varió entre 1 y 13 en 2005, y entre 24 y 283 en 2008. Este es el primer estudio llevado a cabo en España sobre taquínidos capturados por dispositivos de trampeo masivo e indica la abundancia y diversidad de especies de estos insectos en los olivares, así como la pobre selectividad del trampeo masivo frente a ellos.

“…This method employs traps, either sticky-screen (Browne, 1978) or cylinder with holes or barriers (Bakke, 1989), baited with synthetic pheromone components to catch adults. Traps releasing pheromone components have been used in control programs to lure other pest insects such as moths to their death (Haniotakis et al, 1991;Sternlicht et al, 1990).…”

Abstract--A spatial-temporal model for personal computers is developed that simulates trapping of an insect population based on trap and population parameters that can be varied independently. The model allows individual "insects" to move forward at any step size with right or left turns within any specified angle taken at random. The x and y axes of the area within which insects move can be varied as well as the number of insects, their flight speed, and the duration of the control period. In addition, the number of pheromonebaited traps, their placement in a grid or at random (with a variable degree of spacing), and their effective catch radius (proportional to pheromone release rate) can also be varied. Simulations showed that catch was similar regardless of whether traps were placed in a grid or practically at random (random placement but no traps were allowed to overlap in their effective catch radii). Iterative equations were developed for computer that can rapidly obtain values that correspond to the mean results from the slower simulation model. Based on a set of input parameters, the equations determine the percentage of the population that should be caught during a specified time, the time required to catch a specified proportion of the insects, and the number of traps necessary to catch the population proportion in the time period. The effects of varying the number of insects, flight speed, trap radius, and number of traps on the percent control or time to catch all insects are presented. Population control of the bark beetle Ips typographus was simulated using realistic pheromone trap and population parameters. A discussion of insect and bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolyfidae) population control using pheromone traps is presented.
