SUMMARY Blueberry maggot flies were heavily aggregated within the first 30 m into fields. Pupae were present in the soil of pruned fields and in wooded areas with Vaccinium angustifolium as an under-story plant adjacent to fields. Perimeter fencing was ineffective as a non-in-secticidal approach to control blueberry maggot fly (BMF). A perimeter application of phosmet (Imidan) 70 WP resulted in a significant reduction in the number of BMF captured on AM traps between the treated compared to untreated check areas. Results with Nu-Lure Insect Bait were inconclusive.
