title: Increasing horse fly (Diptera: Tabanidae) catch in canopy traps by reducing ultraviolet light reflectance.
abstract: Application of UV Killer, a commercially available product which reduced ultraviolet reflectance from cloth fabrics, increased the catch of tabanids in canopy traps by 24% and in CO2-baited traps by 30%. Catch decreased as ultraviolet reflectance increased during the experiment.
