Stop fruit flies from infesting mangoes

[bankruatsteve]

Last season my wife's mango trees had maybe 50% of the fruit infested by fruit flies.  We have viewed YouTube recommending traps, glue tape, and even cloth bags to prevent the buggers from getting at the fruit but nothing looks to be 100% effective.

 

So, just wondering if anybody in this forum has tried any of those methods and, if so, please comment and where to buy.

 

Any other methods that seem to work?

 

Cheers

Two choices as far as I know. Bag 'em or spray 'em. That or just accept a 50% loss. There you go, three choices.

Bought these recently on lazada.

They're okay if you have a small orchard but probably not practical if you have many trees bearing a lot of fruit. Then spraying would probably make more sense.

How did you select the size?

Sorry, I now see size is selected under "color".
