Abstract

A biconical trap is described which incorporates a 5 KV electrocuting grid to stun tsetse flies, which then fall via a funnel into a preservative in a tube segregator capable of separating the catch at intervals of 1–24 hours. The trap was effective in Upper Volta and Ivory Coast against Glossina tachinoides (Westw.) and G palpalis s. 1. respectively. A 12 V 45Ah battery allowed continuous operation for over 20 days.
