Abstract
Sticky traps can be used to monitor the presence of adult
fruit flies in cherry and apple orchards. The traps utilize both
color and odor to attract the flies. It has been known for
some time that the flies are attracted to the color yellow.
Consequently, sticky board traps now used are colored
yellow. The flies are also attracted to red and this color has
been used on sticky spheres to monitor the apple maggot
flies. Odor is the second stimulus. Household ammonia
placed in bottles was a common attractant used in early
sticky boards. The ammonia had to be changed frequently
and the process was time-consuming. Today, the traps use
Hy-Case Amino and ammonium acetate mixed into the
sticky material on the traps. This attractant lasts several
weeks under orchard conditions and lengthens the interval
between trap changes to 2 to 3 weeks.
