The research trials on enhancing the efficacy of fruit fly traps using different protein and ammonia gas emitting sources were conducted at mixed fruit orchards in Swat, Pakistan.  The first experiment comprised para-pheromone, methyl eugenol alone, and a combination of Ammonia emitting sources, molasses, urea, and chicken faeces in compartments in traps were used. The para-pheromone methyl eugenol, Cu-lure, and Nu-lure consist of 85% lures, 10% sugar, and 5% Diptrex^®  insecticides. Similar procedures were adopted in the second and third trials with Cue lure (CL) and Nu lure (NL). The experimental results showed that the lure, methyl eugenol baited traps with local baits in the compartment of bait (ME, urea, molasses) recorded the highest catch of flies (37.22) as compared to lure trap alone (18.05). In the same method fruit flies’ attractants, Nu-lure and Cue lure were used in traps separately resulted 2.83, 15.33 flies captured while in addition of local bait with Nu lure (NL, CF, Urea, Molasses) and Cu-lure (Urea, CF, and Molasses) gave 16.00 ,48.91 dead flies counted. The experimental results proved that the if the partition of fruit fly traps comprised with methyl eugenol or Cue lure or Nu lure filled with local bait chicken faeces (CF), urea, and molasses, they increased the efficiency of commercial fruit fly attractants, among this urea or animal manure as bait have a high potential of attractiveness to different fruit fly’s species.
