Abamectin in sugar-yeast hydrolysate bait was tested on colony-reared adult Caribbean fruit flies, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), in the laboratory in a no-choice design. The ECggs irreversible knockdown followed rapidly by. death) for sexually= mature females and males were 12.2 and 19.6 ppm, respectively, at 48 h.
