West African countries have been dealing with the problem of fruit flies for many years. C?te d?Ivoire is particularly affected by this problem due to the export mangoes? production. Detecting the presence of flies in a locality requires the use of synthetic traps that are inaccessible to Ivorian producers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of local for the capture of fruit flies. To this end, local and synthetic traps have been installed at the Daloa University site and the collect of captured flies have been carried out each month. A total of 76 593 fruit flies were captured and divided into eleven species. Bactrocera dorsalis is the most abundant with 92.91% and a daily catch of 14.16 individuals / day / trap. Mean capture of local traps (25.09 individuals) and synthetic traps (43.09 individuals) are statistically identical. Population growth peaks coincide with the rainy season (May and June). Local traps can be used in the detection and monitoring of fruit flies.
