Due to the decreasing ef®ciency of contact insecticides, many U.K. farmers have come to rely on the use of toxic baits for M. domestica control, often applied to localized targets (Barson, 1987;Freeman & Pinniger, 1992).…”

Field trials investigating the effect of visual cues on catches of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) 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 azamethiphos and baited with 2.5 g of 40% (Z)-9-tricosene impregnated beads caught significantly greater numbers of M. domestica than control targets. The greater attractiveness of the pheromone impregnated targets persisted for at least 5 weeks. The addition of longitudinal black stripes, or a regularly spaced pattern of black spots, to the white targets had no effect on catch rates. However, a pattern of clustered black spots, designed to imitate groups of feeding M. domestica, significantly increased target catches; this effect was particularly pronounced in the targets impregnated with (Z)-9-tricosene. Trials comparing the attractiveness of white and fluorescent yellow pheromone-treated targets under two different lighting regimes indicated that M. domestica does not have a significant preference for either colour. The implications of these results in relation to the control of M. domestica populations in poultry units are discussed.

“…Reliance on contact insecticides in intensive animal rearing units has led to the development of widespread resistance in many populations of Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) (Chapman, 1985;Chapman & Morgan, 1992;Chapman et al, 1993). Control failure associated with persistent application of contact insecticides has resulted in an increase in the use of baited targets on many UK poultry farms (Barson, 1987;Freeman & Pinniger, 1992; J.

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.

“…Two strains of M.dornestica were used; the Cooper susceptible strain which has been in continuous culture at the Slough Laboratory since 1979. and a multi-insecticide-resistant strain (G) which was collected from a pig farm in Suffolk during 1980. The level of methomyl resistance to strain G (determined by topical application) was x5.X at the KDvi value (Chapman, 1985). The resistance spectrum of strain G is reported by Chapman (1985).…”

“…The development of widespread resistance in houseflies to most of the insecticides currently used for their control in intensive animal units (Chapman & Lloyd, 1981;Chapman, 1984Chapman, , 1985 has led to a need to modify current control strategies. This was also emphasized by Denholm et al (1985) who demonstrated that the development and spread of resistance can be prevented by control measures based on a good understanding of housefly population dynamics.…”

Female houseflies (Musca domestica L.) from a susceptible and a multi-insecticide-resistant strain were used to evaluate the relative toxicity of an insecticide bait formulation of the carbamate insecticide methomyl. Individual flies were allowed to feed on bait granules for an unrestricted period or for 5 s. Resistant flies took longer than susceptible flies to initiate a feeding response. When allowed to feed continuously, those from the resistant strain spent longer feeding than susceptible ones. The time taken to knock-down (KD), including feeding times, was significantly greater for resistant than susceptible flies (P less than 0.001), but once the proboscis was withdrawn from the granule there was no difference in KD times between the strains. All flies from both strains were knocked down, and only a very small number of resistant and susceptible flies recovered. The toxic effects of methomyl on flies which were restricted to a 5 s feed ranged from no observed effect to KD in less than 1 min. After feeding for 5 s, 81% of resistant and 98% of susceptible flies developed signs of methomyl poisoning. More resistant than susceptible flies recovered from KD, giving final mortalities of 46% and 88% respectively. With both feeding regimes, some flies of both strains which had apparently recovered from KD had lost their ability to fly. Observations have also shown that 8% of resistant flies may have been repelled by methomyl granules. The implication of these results on the survival of M. domestica in intensive animal units following exposure to methomyl bait is also discussed.
