Abstract
A study was undertaken to find out the efficacy of the house fly specific pheromone (Z)-9-Tricosene in attracting and killing house flies in field conditions using a sticky trap baited with sugar. Traps containing Glue + Sugar + (Z)-9-Tricosene caught the maximum number of house flies followed by Glue + (Z)-9-Tricosene, Glue + Sugar and Glue traps when observed 12 hours after installation of the traps.
