Dr . Harris worked on the biology and area-wide management of tephritid fruit fly pests using biorational tactics such as sterile fly releases ( SIT ), male annihilation ( MA ), and augmentative biological control.

Pest management techniques applied to tephritid include the use of cover sprays with conventional pesticides, however, due to deleterious impact of these pesticides, new, less impactful and more targeted pest control techniques have been used, such as toxic food baits, male annihilation technique using specific male attractant parapheromones in toxic baits or mass trapping, or even sterile insect technique as part of integrated pest management.
