It appears for me there is no real good way of dealing with the
blighters. So minimising is all one can hope for.
Free range chooks may be one answer.
You have trouble trapping females too? Darn I thought it was my
personality! (Or breath fresheners arent up to the task)

good one jonno,

there is an effective male wick that will attract and kill males that
is the easy part, but trapping the females is another thing altogether
so that is the vexing problem when dealing with f/f, for us
controlling the males means less fertile females so less f/f damage,
and another part of our f/f control is good husbandry around the trees
ie.,. collecting and destroying all f/f damaged frut off-site.

so f/f control is a multi-part process.
