How to prevent cherry worms?
As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure!
Flies will lay their eggs on the trees.
Therefore, it is necessary to prevent them from doing so in order to interrupt the life cycle of the larvae from the beginning.
For this, you can install fly traps.
There are 2 types of trap.
The pheromone trap that attracts flies and traps them.
The sticky trap: these insects end up stuck to the yellow leaf.
Both are easy to use and naturally combat the invasion of flies: Rhagoletis cerasi, but also Drosophila suzukii
Also note that some species of cherry trees are less sensitive to these insects.
These are the Bigarreau Summit cherry tree, Bigarreau Noire de Meched or Bigarreau Burlat.
Don’t forget to pick up any fruit that falls from the tree.
Because the cherry worm continues to develop there before transforming into a fly!
But don’t put them in the compost.
Because you risk contaminating it due to the presence of larvae.
