Adult houseflies were monitored using Scudder grill and spot cards while maggots, mites and other arthropods were sampled from one liter of poultry manure. Azamethiphos (Alfacron R) used as paint-on at 0.125 gm and 0.1875 gm ai/ square meter significantly reduced fly populations by 80.6% and 86.3%, respectively a week following the second treatment. There was also corresponding reduction in adult fly activities as measured by low counts in fecal droplets. A granular bait (SNIP R) containing 1% azamethiphos and a sex attractant applied at 2.0 gm/square meter gave 95.2% and 96.3% mortality in adult flies in separate poultry broiler farms. Female flies were less attracted to the bait as shown by a male-female sex ratio of 2.2:1. Maggot populations in one farm dropped by 100%. A synthetic insect growth regulator (CGA 72662, Neporex R), applied at 0.50 gm ai on manure gave 100% mortality of maggots a week after the second application. At 0.75 gm ai, it was harmless to mites and beetles predaceous on housefly eggs and maggots.
