Dear colleagues,

I'm looking for articles where I can find tests of food attractants used to monitor fruit flies. I am not looking for pheromone-based attractants.

We have already performed a series of tests where we tried to have a glue trap (containing aroma dissolved in propylene glycol) and the raw materials from which the aroma was made were used next to them (eg grapes and grape aroma). Fruit flies almost always chose the raw material itself and they were not interested in the aroma in the glue. Even after removing the raw material itself, the glue trap with aroma did not attract them.

I will be happy for any of your knowledge and articles on the topic.

Thank you.
