A newly developed Haematobia spp. trap is described, and results are presented from field trials to reduce populations of adult horn fly, Haematobia irritans L., on 5 dairy farms in western Florida and Alabama during the summer of 1992. We compared fly infestations on milkers subjected to trapping, versus either dry cattle on the same farm or milkers on a nearby farm, without the trap but where traditional horn fly control practices were used. Results gave 96.9% (95% CI, 93.8-98.4) reduction compared with dry cattle with a mean count of 228 per animal, and 90.2% (84.5-94.5%) compared with milkers on the control farms with a mean count of 113. Trapping removed the need to use insecticides to control this pest on milking dairy cattle and so offers a practical, environmentally acceptable, safe, and sustainable means of horn fly control on cattle which pass through the trap regularly.
本文描述了一种新开发的血蝇属诱捕器，并展示了1992年夏季在佛罗里达州西部和阿拉巴马州的5个奶牛场进行的田间试验结果，该试验旨在减少成年角蝇（血蝇）的数量。我们比较了使用诱捕器的挤奶工身上的苍蝇侵扰情况，与同一农场的干奶牛或附近农场使用传统角蝇控制方法但未使用诱捕器的挤奶工身上的苍蝇侵扰情况。结果显示，与平均每头动物有228只苍蝇的干奶牛相比，苍蝇数量减少了96.9%（95%置信区间，93.8 - 98.4）；与对照农场平均每头有113只苍蝇的挤奶工相比，苍蝇数量减少了90.2%（84.5 - 94.5%）。诱捕器消除了在挤奶奶牛上使用杀虫剂来控制这种害虫的必要性，因此为定期通过诱捕器的奶牛提供了一种实用、环境可接受、安全且可持续的角蝇控制方法。
