A Simple Fly Trap
نویسنده
چکیده
pattern has been devised :? An empty ghi tin is placed upright and cut across the top medially. A similar cut is made parallel across the front of the tin about three inches from the bottom and the cut extended up each side to meet the top cut, the part removed being shaped like a banker's shovel. A modified pattern is made by cutting perpendicularly through the top to within three inches of the base and then horizontally through half the tin. A stout wire is passed across the top of the tin about two inches from the back and looped above to enable the tin to be hung on a wall or other support. (This is not shown in the sketch below.)

Lasa et al.: Advances in Developing a Dry Trap for Anastrepha ludens 1135 TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT OF A MASS TRAPPING DEVICE FOR MEXICAN FRUIT FLY ANASTREPHA LUDENS (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) CONTROL
The use of simple and economic traps with long lasting lure dispensers is key for implementation of mass trapping strategies against pestiferous fruit flies. Simplicity, cost, ease of assembly, storage and transportation were considered during evaluation of a folding conical trap for mass trapping the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens. The application of deltamethrin to the lid of the trap r...
متن کاملDevelopment of Odour-Baited Flytraps for Sampling the African Latrine Fly, Chrysomya putoria, a Putative Vector of Enteric Diseases
African pit latrines produce prodigious numbers of the latrine fly, Chrysomya putoria, a putative vector of diarrhoeal pathogens. We set out to develop a simple, low-cost odour-baited trap for collecting C. putoria in the field. A series of field experiments was carried out in The Gambia to assess the catching-efficiency of different trap designs. The basic trap was a transparent 3L polypropyle...
متن کاملEnvironmental Impact on Predicting Olive Fruit Fly Population Using Trap Measurements
Olive fruit fly trap measurements are used as one of the indicators for olive grove infestation, and therefore, as a consultation tool on spraying parameters. In this paper, machine learning techniques are used to predict the next olive fruit fly trap measurement, given as input environmental parameters and knowledge of previous trap measurements. Various classification algorithms are employed ...
متن کاملComparative attraction of four different fiberglass traps to various age and sex classes of stable fly (Diptera: Muscidae) adults.
An Alsynite cylinder trap and three different Williams cross-configuration traps with three adhesives were compared to determine their relative attraction to stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), adults. Williams traps coated with Olson Sticky Stuff performed as well as Williams traps coated with Tack Trap, thus allowing fly samples collected with either adhesive to be compared. The cylinder tr...
متن کاملLarge sticky traps for capturing house flies and stable flies in dairy calf greenhouse facilities.
Large sticky traps were evaluated for stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), and house fly, Musca domestica L., (Diptera: Muscidae) capture under field conditions in 5 dairy calf greenhouse facilities in New York. The farm with the highest stable fly capture had the highest house fly capture, and the farm with the lowest stable fly capture had the lowest house fly capture, suggesting that fly ma...
متن کاملStable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans: Diptera, Muscidae) trap response to changes in effective trap height caused by growing vegetation.
Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans L.) are blood-feeding pests of cattle, whose populations are often monitored using sticky traps. Trap responses at different heights were compared with: 1) a choice and no-choice test, with sticky cards set at 30 and 121 cm heights (above ground), and 2) tall (120 cm) traps placed in short (3 cm) and tall (40 cm) grass to assess how vegetation height affects tr...
