“…The use of traps containing attractants and either insecticides or chemosterilants for pest control has been proposed for a number of insect species (Steiner et aI. [1965]; La Brecque and Meifert [1966]; Goodenough and Snow [1977]; Meifert et al [1978]; Hargrove and Vale [1979]; Snow et al [1982]; House [1982]; Langely and Coates [1982]). Some of these applications used pheromone traps, others used non-sex-specific odor-baited traps; none used any of the combinations of methods examined here.…”

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.

“…During the course of routine monitoring of stable fly populations in eastern Nebraska (Taylor et al., ), we observed high numbers of stable flies caught from traps placed in proximity to grasslands and crop fields on which cattle manure slurry (a mixture of cattle manure and urine, water and accumulated organic waste) had been recently applied (Schils & Kok, ). Volatile compounds isolated from bovine manure slurry may be useful for improving the efficacy of trap catches by the deployment of mass trapping technologies with attractant‐baits for stable flies (Meifert et al., ).…”

Abstract. Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans [Diptera: Muscidae] L.) are blood-feeding synanthropic pests, which cause significant economic losses in livestock. Stable fly antennae contain olfactory sensilla responsive to host and host environment-associated odours. Field observation indicated that the abundance of stable flies increased significantly in grasslands or crop fields when cattle manure slurry was applied. Major volatile compounds emanating from manure slurry were collected and identified. Behavioural responses of stable flies to those compounds were investigated in laboratory bioassays and field-trapping studies. Results from olfactometer assays revealed that phenol, p-cresol and m-cresol were attractive to adult stable flies. When tested individually, attraction was higher with lower dosages. Stable flies were most attracted to blends of phenol and m-cresol or p-cresol. Traps with binary blend lures caught more stable flies in field trials as well.

“…Traps can be used for both surveillance and local reduction of stable ßy populations (Williams 1973, Meifert et al 1978, Ruff 1979, Gersabeck et al 1982, Gersabeck and Merritt 1983, Hogsette 1984, Pickens and Hayes 1984. Most stable ßy traps are modiÞca-tions of the adhesive-coated translucent Þberglass panel (Alsynite) trap developed by Williams (1973).…”
