“…One hundred or more per day can be captured in the large Stoneville Malaise trap in Mississippi, United States of America, especially with CO 2 (Roberts 1972(Roberts , 1975(Roberts , 1976(Roberts , 1978. Catches of deer flies are increased by baiting traps with CO 2 or 1-octen-3-ol (Wilson and Richardson 1970;Cilek and Olson 2008) but not with other baits targeting tsetse or horse flies (Mihok and Lange 2012).…”

A modified Nzi trap was tested at a residence and at a farm in eastern Ontario, Canada to better capture high-flying tabanids (Diptera) such as Chrysops Meigen. A new upper trap entrance was created to provide a higher and larger opening by reducing the front blue top shelf to half its height. To minimise escape of low-flying tabanids, a vertical inner baffle was added to direct low-flying tabanids up into the cone. Half of the tests of 18 new designs caught 1.5–2.7 times more deer flies than the Nzi trap did, with the other trap designs being as effective as the Nzi trap. The optimal design that maintained equal catches of other biting flies relative to the Nzi trap was one with a phthalogen inner horizontal shelf and a netting inner vertical baffle. This design is defined in the present as the “bi-level Nzi trap.” Chrysops entered the trap mostly through the top (88%; 17 spp.), along with Hybomitra Enderlein (94%; 12 spp.). Tabanus Linnaeus (9 spp.) entered through both entrances. The most abundant Tabanus, T. quinquevittatus Wiedemann, entered mostly through the bottom (70%), whereas Stomoxys calcitrans Linnaeus entered mostly through the top (92%).

“…Till date, a great variety of different traps and baits have been described (e.g. by Bellamy & Reeves 1952, Wilson & Richardson 1970, MacLeod & Donnelly 1956, Gillies 1974, Chararas 1977, Howell et al 1975, Lewis & Macaulay 1976, Anderbrant et al (1989 The bait or attractant is usually a substance of biological nature (e.g., rotten fruit) used to attract the interest of organisms. The so-called meat baits are used to capture flies, especially for Brachycera suborder (Dodge & Seago 1954).…”

Traps made from PET bottles were used to assess the efficiency of four baits in terms of the number of individuals for selected Diptera families collecting in Eastern Slovak gardens in summer and autumn. Bait used in traps significantly affected the taxonomical composition of the samples obtained. Moreover, significant differences in bait efficiencies and temporal shift in bait efficiencies were confirmed for the Diptera order and for selected dipteran families. The most effective bait for baited-trap Diptera sampling was beer, followed by wine, meat, and syrup from the summer sampling season. In the autumn sampling season, the wine was most effective, followed by beer, syrup, and meat. For the family Scatopsidae wine, and for the family Platystomatidae, meat were the most effective baits. Drosophilidae were most attracted to beer in summer and to wine bait in autumn.
