tomato plants

Greetings. I've grown tomato plants in Honolulu and in Waianae. I've grown them in the ground and in pots. So far, the types were Roma, He'elani, and various unknown cherries that were given to me. At one point, it was like the "Day of the Triffids."

One day, a neighbor of mine in town, set out several medfly traps with hormones as lures. Next thing I know, all my tomatoes were stung...Can't even mention how many maggots I found in the bittermelon. Of course, can't say that it was the medfly lures; however, since that time, unless I covered the tomatoes, I couldn't harvest any. In Waianae, the same tomatoes, minus the medfly lure, were not stung at all and did not need to be covered. Has anyone else had more problems due to lures and traps than results? I wasn't really angry at him. I just pulled all the tomatoes and bittermelon.
