..."Commercial growers hate these pests, as the fly has claimed lots of the softer-skinned fruits.

His tips for avoiding the worms: Pick fruit before they're overripe and place them in the fridge. We've also heard that soaking the berries in salty water can encourage the worms to emerge and float to the top."
