DESIGNING AND FIELD EVALUATION OF LURE AND KILL TRAPS FOR THE HOUSE FLY MUSCA DOMESTICA

Abstract
Lure-and-kill traps using attractant baits and pheromone (Z)-9-tricosene were fabricated and field tested to trap Musca domestica. Bioassay using single cage dual port olfactometer for food bait preference in house flies revealed fish meal to be most attractive followed by molasses and sugar in both “no choice” and “choice” bioassay.
