Olive in Iran is planted for its fruits as well as its oil. During past 15 years its plantation has widely extended up to 100000 ha in 3 north provinces of country and other provinces with suitable conditions. One of limitation of olive production is its fruit fly. It was first recorded 4 years back in Iran. Now despite quarantine measures, it has spread to most of olive growers. A study was carried out to design an IPM program based on 4 kind of traps (vertical yellow sticky trap, bucket trap, dome trap and bottle trap) and 5 attractants (sex pheromone, ammonium bicarbonate, protein hydrolysat, sex pheromone + ammonium bicarbonate and sex pheromone + protein hydrolysat). The results showed, vertical yellow sticky trap was the best trap (with mean capture 138.1 in first year and 23.9 in second year) and sex pheromone, sex pheromone with protein hydrolysat and sex pheromone with amunium bicarbonate had most capturing \{with mean capture of 46.313 -83.625 per trap in first year and 10.063 - 15.313 in second year respectively. Furthermore 10 trapslha having the mean infestation rates of 1 % in Mari cultivar and 5% in olive cultivar estimated the optimal number of trapslha.
