| Abstract: | During the dry season, 3 experiments were performed in the sub-humid savannah area of Burkina Faso to compare the attractiveness and efficacy of 5 different tsetse traps against Tabanidae together with the evaluation of 2 olfactory attractants. The NG-2G and F3 traps and the screen-trap were significantly more effective (X1.7 to 8.7) than the biconical and monoconical ones. Metacresol increased the catches by an average of X1.5, and the metacresol/octenol association (3:1) X2.5 in comparison with the control trap with no attractant at all. |
