Mediterranean fruit fly numbers from 100 traps in the Perth Metropolitan area are obtained from Natal fruit fly traps which use the same lure as that attracts Mediterranean fruit fly. 580 traps are in selected country towns such as Manjimup, Harvey, Donnybrook and Katanning. Trapping grids are specifically set to determine Mediterranean fruit fly presence and abundance.
