Sadly, mangoes to not do well here.
40 degrees ruins flowers and fruit, 32 degrees does permanent damage.
To answer the general fruit tree question, if the trees are kept groomed, there should be minimal problem with critters. That means, no over ripe fruit left hanging about on tree or ground. Fruit is yummy for critters, too.
Blossoms will attract pollinators, but that's a given if you want to end up with fruit!
Many do citrus in pots to keep the trees a manageable size for harvesting. Remember, they need full sun!
