AbstractAutosterilizing devices, composed of 20×50 cm rectangles of white polyester cloth, baited with 50% w/v sucrose and impregnated with 10% suspension concentrate of the chitin synthesis inhibitor triflumuron, were suspended in two caged-layer poultry houses on a 6 ha farm near Bhubaneswar, Orissa Province, in north-east India. Populations of Musca domestica Linnaeus declined significantly over 6 weeks in houses in which the triflumuron-treated targets had been deployed. Following the removal of the targets from these houses, the M. domestica populations subsequently increased. No comparable changes were observed in a control poultry house in which an equal number of targets, dosed with 50% w/v sucrose only, were suspended. Laboratory evaluation of the sugar-baited triflumuron targets confirmed that exposure of the strain of M. domestica present in the poultry manure to triflumuron-treated targets reduced egg hatch to less than 1%. There was no decline in the quantity of triflumuron present on targets during their 6 week exposure in the poultry houses, as shown by gas chromatography. Furthermore, a laboratory bioassay demonstrated no decrease in the potency of the chemical over the exposure period. However, the quantity of sugar present on targets decreased significantly after only 3 weeks exposure. However, populations in the treatment houses were not eliminated and immigration from surrounding houses may have reduced the effectiveness of the technique. The results are discussed in relation to the use triflumuron-treated targets as a practical autoster-ilizing system for house fly control in livestock production systems.

The recoveries of pteromalid parasites from house fly, Musca domestica L., pupae placed in accumulated poultry manure at the surface and at depths of 3, 5, 10 and 15 cm were determined weekly for 10 weeks in two types of caged-layer poultry houses. No parasites were recovered from fly pupae at the 15 cm depth. Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani) were the first and second most abundant house fly pupal parasites collected on the surface and 3 cm beneath the surface of the poultry manure in narrow and high-rise caged-layer poultry houses. From house fly pupae 5 cm deep, P. vindemiae was rarely recovered while 5 to 12% of the parasites recovered at that depth were M. raptor. Spalangia cameroni Perkins was the most abundant Spalangia species and was recovered mostly from pupae at 5 and 10 cm deep in the manure in both houses. Other, less abundant, Spalangia species (S. endius Walker and S. nigroaenea Curtis) were recovered from fly pupae to a depth of 10 cm beneath the manure surface in both houses. Muscidifurax zaraptor, an introduced species, was released in the narrow caged-layer poultry house, and was recovered from pupae on the surface and 3 cm deep in the manure.
