“…In particular, Meifert et al (1978) used permethrin-treated alsynite targets at a rate of one per Þve head of cattle at two sites in Florida, and estimated that the units removed Ͼ30% of the stable ßy popu-lation during their study. Our results when joined with those of Foil and Younger (2006) seem to be more promising than those of previous studies, where pyrethroids (permethrin) were combined with alsynite Þberglass panels or cylinders (Meifert et al 1978, Hogsette andRuff 1996). Foil and Younger (2006) conducted electric grid studies and found that half blue and half black 1-m 2 UK trigger targets attracted a 6.1-fold higher number of stable ßies than alsynite cylinder traps.…”

“…Traps or treated targets for the control of stable ßy populations have shown promise in several studies (Hogsette et al 1987;Rugg, 1982;Hogsette and Ruff 1996).

“…Application of insecticides to pastured livestock is not practical because residual activity is short lived and stable ßies spend the majority of their adult lives off the host (Farkas and Hogsette 2000). Toxicant devices made from Þberglass stable ßy traps (Williams 1973) treated directly (Meifert et al 1978) or indirectly (Hogsette and Ruff 1996) with pesticides were developed for stable ßy management, but these devices have never been widely used.…”

Stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), once only a pest of pastured cattle, has become a serious pest of range cattle in the United States. Because of the difficulties associated with stable fly management under range conditions, a pesticide-impregnated cloth target is being developed as a management tool. We conducted studies to determine the influence of weather, time, fabric type, insecticide type, and insecticide concentration on the mortality of stable flies from a susceptible laboratory colony exposed for 30 s to treated cloth targets. We found that 100% of the flies exposed to trigger (Trigger-Royal Box, 65% polyester and 35% cotton) fabric targets that were treated with 0.1% h-cyhalothrin or 0.1% zeta-cypermethrin and weathered outdoors in Gainesville, FL., for up to 3 mo, were dead within 20 min after a 30-s exposure. The results of this study support the concept that treated targets can be developed for integration into stable fly control programs.

“…However, placing an Olson sticky sleeve over the fabric used for the BCTs somehow reduced the qualities that make the BCTs attractive when not covered. In one study, AFTs with an adhesive applied directly to the surface of the fiberglass captured almost twice as many stable flies as AFTs covered with sticky sleeves [Hogsette and Ruff, ]. Thus, sticky sleeves reduced the attraction of Alsynite cylinder traps and must do the same in some manner for the BCTs.…”

Although this study was originally designed to compare the efficacy of two different stable fly traps within 10 sites at a 12-ha zoological park, seasonal and spatial population distribution data were simultaneously collected. The two traps included an Alsynite fiberglass cylindrical trap (AFT) and a blue-black cloth target modified into a cylindrical trap (BCT). Both traps were covered with sticky sleeves to retain the attracted flies. Paired trap types were placed at sites that were 20–100 m apart. Distance between trap pairs within sites ranged from 1 to 2 m, and was limited by exhibit design and geography. Both trap types reflect/refract ultraviolet (UV) light which attracts adult S. calcitrans. During this 15-week study, AFTs captured significantly more stable flies than the BCTs at 8 of the 10 sites. Of the 12,557 stable flies found on the traps, 80% and 20% were captured by AFTs and BCTs, respectively. The most attractive trap site at the zoo was at the goat exhibit where most stable flies were consistently captured throughout the study. This exhibit was 100 m from the other exhibits, next to a small lake, and adjacent to a field containing pastured exotic ungulates, rhea and ostrich. Stable fly populations peaked in early June then slowly decreased as the last trapping date approached. We believe this to be the first seasonality data collected at a zoological park. Results demonstrate the use of urban zoos by stable flies and the need to develop environmentally friendly stable fly management systems for zoos. Zoo Biol. 33:228–233, 2014. Published 2014.

“…By merging the developments in insecticides with new modes of action with traditional concepts of delivery using our knowledge of fly behavior, we expect to modify and develop, in conjunction with industry, new technologies of fly control that will successfully solve fly problems for deployed military. For instance, flies prefer to rest on strings and cords and can be controlled using insecticide treated yarn (Hogsette and Ruff 1996). They also are attracted to surfaces that reflect ultraviolet light (Patterson et al 1980, Patterson and Koehler 1982.…”

Year 1 Research Accomplishments Year 2 Research Accomplishments Year 3 Research Accomplishments 4. REPORTABLE OUTCOMES 5. CONCLUSIONS 6. REFERENCES 7. APPENDICES LTJG Jeff Hertz (USN), M.S. Jeff evaluated toxicants applied to cords for fly control. He discovered that flies preferred to rest on manila cord; however, best kill with fipronil and indoxacarb was on wool cord. His results were presented at the AFPMB as part of the justification for request of National Stocking Number (NSN) for a new sprayable and paintable fly bait product. The request was approved and the product received NSN 01-555-9369. HM1 Joseph Diclaro (USN), M.S. Candidate. Joe joined the laboratory in April 2007. He is currently working with control of house flies using cord and trap combinations, which are a continuation of the work previously developed by LTJG Hertz. His work involves the development of novel application devises for control of filth flies. Joe represented LTJG Hertz and the Univ. of Florida-Urban Entomology research team at the AFPMB when the NSN request for the new sprayable spot fly bait was presented to the pesticide committee. Lt. Ricky Vazquez (U. S. Army Reserves), Ph.D. candidate, Ricky recently returned from deployment in Iraq. His work was interrupted when he was activated and transferred to Iraq so some of the work planned for him was completed by Jeff Hertz. Currently, Ricky is working with biology and control of invasive ant species. Alexandra Chaskopoulou, M.S. Alex evaluated vapor toxicity of low molecular weight chemicals on flies and mosquitoes. She adapted a bioassay for testing vapor toxicity to flies and mosquitoes and has completed her evaluation of 3 volatile compounds against mosquitoes, including evaluation of a controlled release system for application of volatile compounds. These novel compounds can replace the organophosphate dichlorvos without the harmful effects displayed by dichlorvos. Ryan Welch, M.S. Ryan evaluated of fly attractants in commercially available cone traps and determined optimal configurations of trap design and attractant age. He submitted his thesis and graduated in December 2006. Currently, he is working for McCall's Services in Jacksonville, FL as a manager trainee. Matt Aubuchon, Ph.D. Worked on attraction of flies to light. Light traps are the major technique used in military mess facilities to reduce numbers of flies in food handling, serving, and eating areas. His work developed procedures for using light traps more effectively. Matt submitted his dissertation and graduated in May 2006. He is currently coordinator of the Deployed War-Fighter Protection Project at the Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology (CMAVE) USDA-ARS in Gainesville, FL. Materials and Methods Chemicals Three novel insecticides were tested; one heterobicyclic (menthofuran) and 2 formate esters [heptyl-formate and ethylene glycol diformate (EGDF)]. Dichlorvos (DDVP) was used as a positive control. The insecticide synergists SSS-tributyl-phosphorotrithioate (DEF) and piperonyl butoxide ...
