Hello All!!!!
I have a very nice and very productive cherry tree in my back yard
that has been taken over by fruit flies. I have identified them as western
cherry fruit flies. Last year I did not get a single cherry that did not have a
worm in it. I am looking for any suggestions and am willing to try anything.
Please help, Thanks.
 
Should have mentioned that I would prefer to use organic methods if possible, however if need be I will gladly use chemical warfare against the little buggers!!!
 
I haven't had any bug problems on my cherries, but the birds got them all last year. I don't know what state you are in, but a call to your county extension office could prove fruitful for you. They would have a good idea what you are dealing with in your area.
 
Should have said I am in Oregon. I have been reading alot about a pesticide
called GF-120. Does anyone know where I could buy it?
