| Latin Name | Thaumatotibia leucotreta |
| Common Name | False codling moth；FCM |
| Biology | Adult moths are active at night and possess strong flight capacity, laying eggs on fruits, leaves, or branches. The larvae bore into fruits, feeding within the flesh and causing fruit decay; this species is a significant fruit pest in Africa, capable of spreading via fruit transport. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages various fruit trees including apple, pear, peach, and avocado. |
| Distribution Regions | Africa |
| Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
| Recommended Traps | Delta Trap, Wing Trap |
