Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Human sweat, liquid ammonia, and bovine blood are known to be attractive to some hematophagous flies. These materials were evaluated with and without carbon dioxide (CO(2) ) for their ability to increase capture of female "canyon flies" (Fannia conspicua Malloch) using CDC-type suction traps (without light). Ammonia acted synergistically with CO(2) to increase trap catch 89.9% over CO(2) alone. There was no synergistic effect of human sweat or bovine blood with CO(2) . In the absence of CO(2) , none of the three materials increased trap catch of female canyon flies relative to non-baited traps. Implications for canyon fly control and further trap improvement are discussed. |
