• Abstract: Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a specie of fruit fly, considered as a present quarantine pest (PQP) in Brazil. Native from Southeastern Asia, the insect infests and damages a great diversity of fruit crops, including native crops and crops of national and of economically importance. Among its various host crops stand out acerola fruit, star fruit, cashew, guava, mango, taperebá fruit, and some species of citrus. For this reason, the presence of B. carambolae in areas of Amapá, Roraima and some areas of Pará, despite the effort of the official containment program, represents a risk to Brazilian fruit crops. Therefore, identifying management alternatives, which subside information of immediate control of B. carambolae outbreaks, contributes minimizing greater socioeconomic damages to fruit production chain in Brazil. The present work presents a literature review on chemical control strategies of B. carambolae based on the active ingredients (a.i) of pesticides already used or under used, in Brazil or abroad. Twenty a.i. were identified, namely abamectin, acetamiprid, carbosulfan, carbofuran, cypermethrin, chlorantraniliprole, cue-lure, deltamethrin, dichlorvos, dimethoate, spinosad, spinetoram, etofenprox, fenthion, fipronil, imidacloprid, lambda-cyhalothrin, lufenuron, malathion, and methyl-eugenol; used in combination or individually.
