The olive fruit fly (OFF), Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is the main insect pest of olive trees worldwide. Legislation limits to the use of some synthetic larvicidal insecticides is leading to the development of new control options for preventive control of adult flies. In the present study, the biological activity of four short‐chain aliphatic aldehydes, namely hexanal, (E)‐2‐hexenal, heptanal and (E)‐2‐heptenal, previously reported as repellents to the OFF adults was investigated.
