Appendix F
Significant Citrus Insect and Mite Pests

Insect Name

Distribution

Management/Control

Reference

Additional Information

Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata)

Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, South America; introduced into the US but successfully eradicated

Insecticide-treated baits applied to scattered trees in the orchard; most Medfly larvae are killed when fresh fruits are shipped under cold storage

Thomas et al., 2007; Lanza et al., 2005

Serious pest in many areas

Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis)

Asia; occasionally found in Florida and California

Similar to Mediterranean fruit fly

Weems et al., 2008

Most serious of all fruit flies, except for Mediterranean fruit fly

Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens)

Mexico; Central America; Frequently found in Texas

Similar to Mediterranean fruit fly

Weems et al., 2008

Less serious than other fruit flies
