“…Consequently, the baits have very little attraction even by the third day when the temperature is high. Langford et al (1954) increased the bait's longevity by adding mineral oils and glycerine. We found that edible oils, glycerine and petroleum jelly were able to sustain the attractiveness of the baits by a few days, probably by retaining their moisture content.…”

The attraction of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coq.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) to soybean hydrolysate, fishmeal, beef extract, banana/grapes, bread and dog biscuit was evaluated in snakegourd (Trichosanthes anguina L.) gardens during 2000-2001. Vinegar and beer were added as the 'bait components' to the above 'base baits' to enhance their attractiveness. Edible oils, glycerine and petroleum jelly were tested as the 'controlled releasers' to sustain the attractiveness. The results indicated that banana and soybean hydrolysate were 85-95% more attractive to adult B. cucurbitae than fishmeal, beef extract, bread and dog biscuit. Among the fruit pulps, grapes and banana appeared to be more attractive than pineapple. The attractiveness of baits with palm oil lasted longer (up to 5 days) than that of baits without any controlled releaser (2-3 days). Grapes þ beer þ palm oil was found to be 37% more attractive than the other admixtures. The fruit flies were attracted towards the baits more intensively between 0600 and 0800 h and between 1600 and 1800 h.

“…Polybor 3 (Polybor, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate) also provided excellent larval control when added to the diets of laying hens, but it produced adverse side effects in the hens-e.g., decreased egg production and premature molting (Burns et al 1959, Sherwood 1959, Tower et al 1960. In contrast, boric acid in a sugar-bait formulation proved relatively ineffective against adult house flies, Musca domestica L., compared with organophosphorus compounds (Langford et al 1954).…”

LC 50 s and LT^s of boric acid and polybor formulated in water and 10% sucrose were determined for 3-to 5-d-old adult house flies, Musca domestica (L.), of mixed sex. Differences between boric acid and polybor toxicities were significant in 10% sucrose, but not in water. However, borates formulated in water had significantly lower LC50S than those formulated in 10% sucrose. Rate of kill for formulations in water was fairly uniform over time, whereas mortality from sucrose formulations was not observed until 17 h after treatment. Reasons for differences in the manifestation of mortality and possibilities for practical application are discussed.

Such as boron compounds that are considered to be only slightly toxic to humans [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. At as a promising new tool for vector control, although imidacloprid is considered to have low oral toxicity to mammals [61][62][63][64][65][66].…”

The efficiency of boric acid, borax and imidacloprid is evaluated for inhibition of adult house fly emergence (IC values) as dry and liquid baits. In the two cases, imidacloprid has the greatest fatal effect at both IC 50 and IC 90 levels followed by boric acid and then borax. In the liquid formulation, IC 50 and IC 90 values are (0.083 and 2.6%), (0.19 and 2.48%) and (2.6 and 16.9%) for three tested compounds respectively. The relative efficiency for imidacloprid and boric acid compared to borax (the least potent one), imidacloprid and boric acid achieved 31.3 and 13.7 times more suppression of adult emergence than borax. In the solid formulation, IC 50 and IC 90 values are (0.083 -0.67%) followed by boric acid (3.7-11.6%) and borax (5.74-21.1%) respectively. It's clear that imidacloprid 68.8 times and boric acid 1.5 times as toxic as borax. Reasons for differences in manifestation of mortality and possibilities for practical application are discussed. We conclude that the efficiency of tested compounds as liquid baits is higher than it as dry baits.
