Integration of Fly Baits, Traps, and Cords to Kill House Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) and Reduce Annoyance

Autodissemination ofMetarhizium anisopliaeandBeauveria bassianainMusca domesticaL. Results in Less Oviposition and Short Gonotrophic Cycle

“…In conclusion, although M. domestica is an insect capable of detoxifying virtually any insecticide (Geden 2012), the fly is attracted and captured by diverse baited traps (Diclaro et al 2012). Therefore, if 60% of flies tend to remain 50 m from their breeding site (Lysyk and Axtell 1986), the fungi reported here could be used in an autodissemination trap to control the house fly in animal production systems or human habitations.…”

Insecticide Residues on Poultry Manures: Field Efficacy Test on Selected Insecticides in Managing Musca Domestica Population

“…This is supported by situation of manures accumulation and rich microbes that will enhance the biodegradation process and causing lower residue efficacy ( Singh et al 2003 , Gilani et al 2010 ). On the other hand, the slow-acting, fipronil was commonly applied as bait for the control of termite, is firstly studied for used against the house fly in Malaysia, although numerous attempts have had be done for controlling the adult flies ( Diclaro et al 2011 , Khan et al . 2013 ).…”

“…Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) Malaysia have reported some of the poultry farms in Malaysia were applied termicides to protect the wooden poultry houses and at the same time, controlling the house fly population. Nevertheless, the efficacy of the termicides toward the house fly is little been studied in Malaysia, although some of them have been used for controlling the adult fly ( Diclaro et al 2011 , Khan et al 2013 ). To assess the efficacy and safety of an insecticide, analysis of the insecticide residues on the treated poultry manures is crucial to the efficacy evaluation ( Page et al 1988 ).…”

Combination of Phagostimulant and Visual Lure as an Effective Tool in Designing House Fly Toxic Baits: A Laboratory Evaluation

“…This predisposition of house flies to seek sugar sources for their survival presents an opportunity to use sugar in toxic baits. For this reason, sugar along with toxicant, water and/or other attractant, in many other studies, has been an essential component in making toxic baits successful [6,10-13]. …”

“…House fly baits are usually in the form of granules and sprays, however, both formulations have limitations. Granules, for example, needs frequent applications due to the possibility of becoming covered with manures or other debris, particularly in agricultural settings [10]. On the other hand, sprayable baits are also difficult to apply in urban and rural settings due to the possibility of clogging the dispenser with dust particles [12].…”
