Semiochemical Augmentation In Artificial Blood Bait: A Novel Strategy Against Stable Flies

Technologies is developing an innovative semiochemical-based blood substitute liquid bait. This novel bait is designed to exploit the blood-feeding behavior of stable flies, offering a targeted, effective, and environmentally sustainable approach to their control. This bait combines an artificial blood matrix with attractants, phagostimulants, and a reduced-risk insecticide, ensuring minimal impact on non-target species and reducing the application of synthetic insecticides in sensitive urban and ecological areas. This innovation promises to significantly alleviate the stable fly burden on urban populations while providing a practical and scalable solution to a longstanding public health challenge.
