Abstract
Spatial variation of Bactrocera species by selected land use areas was determined using cue-lue, methyl eugenol and zingerone as attractants. Five species of Bactrocera were identified namely: Bactrocera commesurata, bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera occipitalis and Bactrocera umbrosa collected from methyl eugenol while Bactrocera cucurbitae was attracted to cue-lure. Zingerone is cue lure and methyl eugenol species responsive yet had the least attracted individuals since it was placed along with cue lure and methyl eugenol. Residential area had the most bactrocera species (5) due to anthropophilic or human activity affiliated while agricultural area had the most number of individuals collected due to more kinds of host-fruits present.
