“…Targets and traps are useful for attracting and controlling certain higher Diptera (Green et al, 1993;Laveissikre et al, 1991;Coppedge et al, 1981). In general, flying insects can be adequately monitored with stationary traps (Muirhead-Thompson, 1991).…”

Cattle-visiting Muscidae were sampled with a handnet from a blood-smeared Masonite panel as well as grazing heifers and dairy cows in south-central Sweden. All flies were examined in search of nematodes. Only Musca autumnalis was infected with nematodes (Parafilaria bovicola, Thelazia spp. and Heterotylenchus autumnalis). The only mixed infections found involved P. bovicola and Thelazia spp. Most M. autumnalis infected with P. bovicola and Thelazia spp. were found during the two first months of the grazing season, whereas the prevalence of specimens infected with H. autumnalis remained about the same throughout the sampling period. Musca autumnalis was caught in significantly smaller numbers from heifers (P < 0.05) than from panel and cows. The catches of nematode-infected M. autumnalis were similarly distributed. Catches of other cattle-visiting Muscidae did not differ significantly among the methods used. Handnet sampling off a panel is therefore considered to be a convenient and accurate method when investigating the abundance of cattle-visiting Muscidae and the prevalence of their nematode infections.

“…A constraint for the SWASS pellets was that they could not be dropped from air in certain areas, such as near lakes and other major accumulations of water, rivers, certain areas supporting endangered wildlife, and where the system was not registered for use. Coppedge et al [ 106 ] then decided to explore a bait station approach in order to find a long-lasting toxic bait system for ground distribution. The developed bait station consisted of a paper cone (15 cm diameter) covered on top with 50 g of feeding bait-toxicant mixture (dried blood, sugar, glue, and 4% dichlorvos) [ 55 ] suspended over a 40 g cup of solidified Swormlure-2 (9.6 g of wax for 30 mL of Swormlure ).…”

The New World Screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), is one of the most damaging parasites of livestock, causing millions of dollars in annual losses to producers. The fly is an obligate parasite of warm-blooded animals, including humans. After a successful 50-year eradication campaign, C. hominivorax has been eradicated from the USA, Mexico and Central America by an area-wide integrated pest management approach. Recently, Caribbean and South American countries have expressed an interest in this approach. Aiming to support forthcoming projects in these countries, this review describes the main technical components of past and ongoing AW-IPM campaigns against C. hominivorax.

“…To overcome these limitations, a protected bait station utilizing the same combination of methods as the SWASS was developed. The longevity of these stations is about 45 to 60 days (33).…”

We discuss methods using stimuli to manipulate behavior of a pest for the purpose of protecting a valued resource. The methods are divided into two categories: those that manipulate behavior over a long distance, e.g. volatile chemicals, visual, and auditory stimuli, and those that manipulate behavior at a short distance (< 1 cm), e.g. involatile chemicals. Particular emphasis is placed on methods that have been developed through studies of pest behavior and on combining stimuli to increase efficacy. Future prospects for behavioral manipulation methods in pest management are discussed.
