1 Fly Trapping and Control in Arid Environments J. A. Hogsette 1, D. F. Hoel 2 and U. R. Bernier 1 1 USDA-ARS, Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology (CMAVE) 1600 S. W. 23 rd Drive, Gainesville, Florida 32608, USA 2 Vector Biology Research Program U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 Cairo, Egypt

2 House fly is a major pest, essentially everywhere.

3 Plenty of house fly traps to choose from! Hanging toxicant device Sticky trap on post Box trap Bag trap Hanging plastic bag with water trap

4 So which type of trap is best for which situation?

5 NAMRU – 3, Cairo, Egypt

6 LCR David Hoel Dr. Hanafi A. Hanafi Dr. Uli Bernier The staff

8 Vaccine Institute

9 2 Wet traps Captivator 1 Sticky trap E Z Trap Fly Relief

10 Golden Malrin & Blue Streak Scatter Baits QuikStrike & QuickBayt Bait Strips

11 Bait strips placed in buckets of sand Scatter baits placed on trays

12 1. The 7 traps/baits/bait strips were rotated through 7 sites. 2. The traps/baits/bait strips were left at each site for 24 hours, then flies were counted. 3. Study was replicated 3 times.

13 Captivator The wet jar trap captured significantly more flies than the other devices. Mean number of flies = 704.29(±125.02)a Fly Relief The wet bag trap captured significantly less flies than the wet jar trap, but significantly more flies than the remaining devices. Mean number of flies =583.33(±117.70)b Results

14 E Z Trap 43.71(±7.87)c 32.52(±3.46)c 17.57(±5.43)c 4.67(±0.60)c 1.05(±0.38)c Mean number of flies No significant difference in mean numbers of flies captured by remaining devices.

15 Captivator Current recommendation under desert conditions would be to use traps containing moisture. Fly Relief Scatter baits and bait strips may be more effective is flies have access to water nearby.

16 Future Plans 1.Return to Cairo in April. 2. Measure temperature changes inside the wet traps as an indication of trap efficacy. 3. Alter presentation methods for scatter baits and bait strips.
