Abstract
A plastic dog-flea collar strip (2.0 cm) secured separately from the trimedlure-baited cotton dental wick in Steiner’s plastic trap eliminated the problems of wick solidification and corroded (galvanized) wires. A strip impregnated with naled or didllorvos (9–20%) placed in conjunction with trimedlure was as effective in capturing and killing Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in Hawaii as a mixture of trimedlure + 25–30% naled.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
