CeraTrap®, an innovative attractant marketed for more than 15 years as a unique alternative for monitoring and surveillance in pest management programs was compared for its efficacy (up to 94%), economy (reprimed 1.5 to 2 months), and ecological management with various attractants to capture or eliminate fruit flies in different crops in the field, with special attraction on females. This review includes controversial aspects explained by researchers who agree on usefulness of the attractant in sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture with the environment, emphasized attraction improved when yellow or white traps were used. Mass control and economy in field systems had more impact (FTD = 0.5-0.7%) using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) traps.
