“…These are known as autosterilizing systems (Langley & Weidhaas, 1986;Wall & Howard, 1994). Numerous efforts have been made to develop autosterilizing systems to control houseflies amongst livestock (LaBrecque, 1961;LaBrecque et a\., 1960LaBrecque et a\., , 1962LaBrecque et a\., , 1966. However, previous work has been of limited success, one of the primary reasons being the non-availability of sterilants which were both effective against flies and safe for beneficial insects and non-insect fauna.…”

“…In livestock systems the housefly, Musca domestica Linneaus, is considered to be an important pest, affecting animal performance and transmitting disease (Patterson & Rutz, 1986;Drummond et al, 1988;Axtell & Arends, 1990). Numerous efforts have been made to develop autosterilizing systems for the control of this species (LaBrecque, 1961;LaBrecque et al, 1960LaBrecque et al, , 1962LaBrecque et al, , 1966. However, previous work has had limited success, primarily because of the unavailability of chemicals which were both effective against flies and safe for beneficial insects and non-insect fauna.…”

“…To maximize its effectiveness the autosterilizing system used should affect both sexes of the target species (Langley & Weidhaas, 1986;Wall & Howard, 1984). The development of autosterilizing devices for housefly control was first considered in the 1960's (LaBrecque et al., 1962;LaBrecque & Meifert, 1966). However, this work met with limited success, primarily because of the non-availability at that time of sterilants which were both effective against target flies yet safe for nontarget organisms.…”
