Mass trapping is being developed to control the fruit fly Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Diptera:Tephritidae) in some citrus-growing areas of Mexico using a trap-lure pack composed of CeraTrap lure and a specific bait station (MS2). Trap-lure efficacy, trap density and cost ratio are crucial for broad implementation of this technique by growers. Under field conditions, the capture of A. ludens with plastic bottle traps was statistically superior to that of MS2 traps. The low cost of this trap has the potential to greatly reduce mass trapping costs and could favor broad implementation of this strategy in Latin American countries that produce fruit crops affected by A. ludens.
