PH keep an eye out for spotted wing drosophilia.
They can move in and take out the remainder of a season without control. They reproduce every 3 days so growth is explosive. Around here they usually hit end of July, no thin skinned fruit is spared.
I don't know of the specifics, but they are getting better at controlling that bug with cultural methods.
If you got your plugs from Nourse, call Steve, he is on the SWD control council, and can give details.
