The Mexican Fruit Fly (MexFly) Rearing Facility has been rearing fruit flies (Anastrepha ludens) in the Rio Grande Valley decades. The current production of pupae is currently set at 100 million pupae per week. The fiberglass trays are used throughout the rearing facility to infest diet with eggs, grow larvae, and hold pupae. They are put through high usage during the various life stages and development of the Mexican Fruit Fly. Currently there is no other product evaluated as effective as these fiberglass trays that can withstand the high-capacity usage that they are exposed to on a daily basis and to the cleaning chemicals used to sanitize the trays.
