Ammonia and 1-octen-3-ol as attractants for Haematopota pluvialis, Hybomitra expollicata (Diptera: Tabanidae), and Morellia spp. (Diptera: Muscidae).
1-Octen-3-ol with and without ammonia were evaluated as attractants in canopy traps for Haematopota pluvialis L., Hybomitra expollicata Pand., and Morellia spp. Baited traps collected significantly more Tabanidae and female Morellia spp. than unbaited traps. 1-Octen-3-ol or 1-octen-3-ol with ammonia, increased catch by 4.2- and 4.3-fold for H. pluvialis, 5.9- and 8.6-fold for H. expollicata, and 1.2- and 1.6-fold for female Morellia spp., respectively.
