The effectiveness of 2 traps for Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni was compared for 1 year amongst relatively low populations at Applethorpe‐Stanthorpe in southeast Queensland. The Lynfield trap which is an inexpensive, non‐sticky, pot‐type trap was significantly more effective than the Jackson trap and was at least as reliable in the detection of fruit fly populations. Use of Lynfield traps in quarantine surveillance programs should allow for a greater trap density and a more sensitive detection system to be established without vastly increased operational costs.
