Fruit Fly are recognized as one of the most important pests of economic importance in the world and is perhaps the biggest threat to crop agriculture worldwide.

Oriental fruit fly, is a species of Tephritidae fruit fly that is endemic to Southeast Asia. It was originated in the tropical & subtropical area in Asia and later invaded into most countries in Africa.

Ecoman® Mimic Trap is developed based on the principle of fruit fly oviposition preference. By replicating the target fruit both in color and shape, it attracts the adult fruit flies, especially the female flies, to feed or lay eggs on it. It then gets stuck on the glue in the mimic trap.

Melon fly has a wide range of host plants which are of great economic value, like bitter gourd, wax gourd, pumpkin, cucumber, towel gourd and winter squash.
