Ceratitis capitata  is the most serious agricultural pest in Argentinean fruit-growing regions. The use of baited traps for Medfly control is an expanding and increasingly successful integrated management strategy. The high cost of traps and attractants is one of the main limitations for use on either a massive scale or a small-scale control. This study aimed to evaluate the advantages or disadvantages of using natural fruit juice-based lures for Medfly adult monitoring at the orchard level in an irrigated valley. Medfly capture with a standard protein attractant was compared with peach, apple, sweet orange, fig, and grape juices. All attractants were evaluated in 1.5-liter disposable plastic bottles that served as traps. The most relevant finding was the interaction between attractant effectiveness and season. While the standard yeast was the most effective attractant during summer, the highest Medfly caught values recorded during both spring and autumn were achieved with traps baited with orange juice. The use of fruit juices as attractants and disposable bottles as traps can decrease the impact on non-target insects and reduce management costs.
