  1. Fly Trapping and Control in Arid Environments J. A. Hogsette1, D. F. Hoel2 and U. R. Bernier1 1USDA-ARS, Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology (CMAVE) 1600 S.

  2. House fly is a major pest, essentially everywhere.

  3. Sticky trap on post Hanging toxicant device Hanging plastic bag with water trap Bag trap Box trap Plenty of house fly traps to choose from!

  4. So which type of trap is best for which situation?

  5. NAMRU – 3, Cairo, Egypt

  6. LCR David Hoel The staff Dr. Hanafi A. Hanafi Dr. Uli Bernier

  7. Vaccine Institute

  8. Captivator E Z Trap Fly Relief 1 Sticky trap 2 Wet traps

  9. QuikStrike & QuickBayt Bait Strips Golden Malrin & Blue Streak Scatter Baits

  10. Scatter baits placed on trays Bait strips placed in buckets of sand

  11. 1. The 7 traps/baits/bait strips were rotated through 7 sites. 2. The traps/baits/bait strips were left at each site for 24 hours, then flies were counted. 3. Study was replicated 3 times.

  12. Captivator The wet bag trap captured significantly less flies than the wet jar trap, but significantly more flies than the remaining devices. Fly Relief Mean number of flies = 583.33(±117.70)b Results The wet jar trap captured significantly more flies than the other devices. Mean number of flies = 704.29(±125.02)a

  13. 43.71(±7.87)c 32.52(±3.46)c E Z Trap 17.57(±5.43)c 4.67(±0.60)c 1.05(±0.38)c Mean number of flies No significant difference in mean numbers of flies captured by remaining devices.

  14. Current recommendation under desert conditions would be to use traps containing moisture. Captivator Scatter baits and bait strips may be more effective is flies have access to water nearby. Fly Relief

  15. Future Plans 1.Return to Cairo in April. 2. Measure temperature changes inside the wet traps as an indication of trap efficacy. 3. Alter presentation methods for scatter baits and bait strips.

  16. The End
