| Abstract | Muscid flies are major pests of cattle and may cause significant economic losses on dairy farms. In Thailand, there have been few reported studies on using sticky traps for these pests. This study aimed to assess the efficiency of different shapes and heights of blue and white sticky traps for capturing adult muscid flies. Trap shape and height were investigated through two field studies conducted on dairy farms from May to September 2024. The effectiveness of blue and white sticky traps was compared across four shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square shapes) and three heights (20, 50, and 80 cm above ground). Based on the results, it is shown that the numbers of captured adult flies were not significantly different among the different shapes of sticky traps. The highest numbers of muscid flies were caught on both blue and white sticky traps with their bottom edges set at 20 cm above ground level, and both colors tended to capture more non-biting than biting muscid flies. These findings indicate that optimizing trap height can increase capture efficiency and improve monitoring of these target species on dairy farms. |
