Public perception was examined through a questionnaire distributed to inhabitants of settlements close to the Danube river, Serbia. As an indicator of the relation between numbers of blackflies collected in the trap and perception of annoyance by the public, Spearman coefficient of rank correlation was used. This analysis determined that the critical number and (threshold of public tolerance of blackfly presence) was 16 simuliids in the trap during the night. The participants were also divided into three groups: fishermen, gardeners, and third group composed of person spendings most of their time indoors. The results showed that the relation between individual percention and the number of simuliids in the trap was strongest in the fishermen.
