“…The elevated catches of males, relative to females, at all the treatments suggest that the M. domestica local population in the vicinity of the targets may have been male biased. Stratification of M. domestica popula- tions, segregated in respect to sex, have been recorded in previous studies at animal rearing units (Willson & Mulla, 1973;Krafsur et al, 1985). The positioning of the targets may therefore explain the low catch rates of female M. domestica at the food baits.…”

“…However, the uniformly low catches of M. domestica at the egg-baited targets contradicts the findings of a previous study carried out in a poultry unit. Willson & Mulla (1973) demonstrated that a protein bait prepared from freeze-dried fermented egg solids induced a three-fold increase in the number of M. domestica caught in pan traps. Furthermore, this increase was primarily mediated by a response from nulliparous females.…”

“…Therefore, kairomones liberated from protein sources may be expected to preferentially attract females. Previous field trials conducted in poultry units have demonstrated that baits containing protein, or products of protein putrefaction, attract M. domestica (Willson & Mulla, 1973;Mulla et al, 1977;Burg & Axtell, 1984). However, the duration of the attractant effect provided by such baits has not been examined.…”

Field trials investigating the effect of food baits on catches of Musca domestica at toxic targets impregnated with the female sex pheromone, (Z)‐9‐tricosene, were conducted in a caged‐layer deep‐pit poultry unit in southern England. Targets treated with an Alfacron‐sugar mixture and baited with 2.5 g of 40% (Z)‐9‐tricosene beads caught significantly greater numbers of both male and female M. domestica than control targets. Egg and milk‐baited targets were less attractive than controls, while brewers yeast slightly increased the numbers of M. domestica attracted. However, the inclusion of brewers yeast in (Z)‐9‐tricosene‐impregnated targets produced a significant reduction in the number of male M. domestica attracted. Increased female attraction was elicited by baiting the targets with 2‐phenylethanol, at the quantities of 1 mg and 10 mg. However, 2‐phenylethanol had no effect on female attraction when presented in conjunction with (Z)‐9‐tricosene. The implications of these results in relation to the control of M. domestica populations in poultry units are discussed.

“…Much of this work has focused on identifying components of food odors that can be incorporated into lures [11][12][13][14]. Early efforts with baits relied on natural products such as fermented egg slurries [15] or combinations of such items as molasses, milk, yeast, grain, blood, and banana extract [16,17]. Brown al.…”

Progeny of house flies (Musca domestica L) from ten California poultry operations, three dairies and one horse-riding facility were tested for methomyl- and muscalure-treated bait resistance using up to three different assays: a topical assay, a no-choice feeding assay and a choice feeding assay. LD50 resistance factors from the topical assay, compared with a locally-derived susceptible colony, ranged between 1 and 4. LC50 resistance factors from the no-choice feeding assay ranged mostly between 2 and 5, with one value of 18. Measurable LT50 resistance ratios for female flies in the choice feeding assay ranged from 43 to 159; two populations had <10% mortality at 48h and could not be measured. LT50 resistance ratios for male flies in the choice feeding assay ranged from 26 to 96, and one population was too resistant to measure. A behavioral assay tested the feeding preference of male and female flies provided a dish of sugar and a dish of methomyl- and muscalure-treated bait. Of eight strains tested, females from seven strains and males from six strains showed significant preference for sugar over bait. Behavioral factors appear to be important in the severe resistance of house flies to baits in California.
