Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an economically important crop in the State of Guerrero. A study was done in a commercial guava orchard with a history of severe damage from fruit fly infestations, in the town of Coaxtlahuacán, municipality of Mochitlán, Guerrero. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate incorporation of recycled plastic artisan traps with chemical attractants for pest management. Treatments were the attractant CeraTrap® and the insecticide Azanim® in the traps. Infestations were evaluated every 15 days from July 2018 to February 2019, with the number of flies captured and phenology of guava plants recorded. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey means test (P ≤ 0.05). Months with most pests were July (960 adult flies) and December (1,057 adult flies); treatments with greatest efficiency as attractants were 100 ml of CeraTrap® and 150 ml of CeraTrap® (18.74 and 21.49 flies per trap, respectively).
