“…These methods could be used in combination with any insect for which there exist both sex-specific and non-sex-specific volatile substances capable of attracting the insects in significant numbers. Most insect species for which food or non-sex-specific odor traps have been used for control are dipterans (e.g., LaBrecque and Meifert [1966]; Goodenough and Snow [1978]; Meifert et aI. [1978]; Hargrove and Vale [1979]; Coppedge et al [1978]; House [1982]), whereas most of the insects for which pheromone trap programs have been mounted have been lepidopterans (e.g., Rothschild [1975];Huber et al, [1979]; Willson and Trammel [1980]; Madsen and Carty [1979]).…”

This reflects the fact that most dipterans only have short-range pheromones (Shorey [1973]).…”

Combining Methods of Pest Control: Complementarity of Methods and a Guiding Principle

Four sets of models are examined which represent various pairwise combinations of several methods of pest control. These methods involve the release of sterile male pests, the inundative release of parasitoids, insecticide application, pheromone trapping and food‐baited trapping with either insecticides or sterilants. It was observed that two pest control methods will combine synergistically, and thus be complimentary, if their optimal action is at different pest densities and varies differently with pest density. The synergism thus generated by differing dependence on density, can however, be obscured if the two control methods interfere with each other in some other way, as occurs for example with the use of both insecticides and inundative release of parasitoids.

“…The odour-bait (Coppedge et al, 1978), later termed SWASS (screwworm adult suppression system), originally consisted of a small cardboard cylinder containing a toxic feeding-bait (sugar, dried blood, white glue and dichlorvos) together with a wick of 'swormlure-2' (a mixture of 11 chemicals known to attract C. hominivorax, Coppedge et al, 1977). In its final form, SWASS comprised pellets of a compressed mixture of dried blood, sugar, corn cob grits with dichlorvos, and wax impregnated with swormlure-2 (Coppedge et al, 1980).…”

“…Chemical assays indicated that these should attract and kill C. hominivorax for up to two months. They were baited with swormlure-2 (impregnated in a wax block) and a similar toxic feedingbait to that used in the cardboard cylinders of SWASS (Coppedge et al, 1978), but with the proportion of dichlorvos doubled from 2% to 4%. Flies that were attracted to the mixture, fed on the bait and ingested the insecticide in the same manner as they did with SWASS.…”

Odour-baited targets to control New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae): a preliminary study

Biconical, F3, and wind oriented (WOT) traps, and black cloth targets, baited with the odour attractant swormlure-4, were assessed as catching and killing devices for the New World screwworm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), in Mexico. Among the traps, the WOT was significantly better than the others, with a mean catch 2.7 and 86.4 times better than those of the biconical and F3, respectively. Release of swormlure-4 could be reduced from the standard 10 ml/day to 2 ml/day without a reduction in the numbers caught in a WOT. Use of electric nets demonstrated that a large visual target was not necessary for the precise location of a swormlure-4 source by C. hominivorax. Target colour was important with respect to the landing response on targets: in a two-choice situation, flies landed much more frequently on black than on blue or yellow, and more on these two colours than they did on white. C. hominivorax tend not to circle a target before landing on it: about 75% of the flies caught on a combination of electrified black target plus electric flanking net were caught on the target. The potential for use of insecticide-impregnated cloth targets in suppression of adult C. hominivorax is discussed.

“…Trapping for the control of important dipteran pest species can be an effective approach under specific circumstances (Haniotakis et al 1991(Haniotakis et al , 1986Prokopy et al 1996Prokopy et al , 2000Broumas et al 2002). As a component of the eradication of the screwworm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax, from North America, trapping using insecticide was evaluated and shown to reduce fly populations by about 65-85% (Coppedge et al 1978). In Australia, between 1932and 1934, Mackerras et al (1936 indicated that intensive trapping could reduce both the abundance of Lucilia cuprina and the incidence of strike by over 50%.…”

Evaluation of the therapeutic and protective effects of ivermectin and permethrin in controlling of wound myiasis infestation in sheep

et al. 2008

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic and protective efficacy of ivermectin and permethrin against wound myiasis induced by fleshflies in Riyadh region in sheep. Three different protocols were planned to evaluate efficacy of the selected drugs in addition to recording the myiasis incidence and prevalence among infested farms. The obtained results revealed that genital organs were the most common sites of infestation with myiasis in male and females, with high prevalence in spring and autumn seasons and complete disappearance in summer and winter seasons. Application of permethrin and ivermectin resulted in significant reduction in the number of live larvae in comparison with control, untreated group. Both drugs significantly protected sheep against re-infestation, with full protection recorded for 22 days in ivermectin-treated group, whereas permethrin only produced partial protection for 13 days. Ivermectin appeared more effective than permethrin in eradication of larvae from infested wounds. In addition, ivermectin significantly protected sheep from fatal outcomes of the infestation, and the emergence rate of pupa to adult was significantly reduced in ivermectin-treated animals.
