Abstract
Abstract New tsetse trap designs, based on the Zimbabwe F3 trap, were compared to the biconical trap. When baited with acetone and cow urine, the most successful of these, the NG2B, was on average three times as effective for female Glossina pallidipes (Austen) as a similarly baited biconical trap. The index of increase was shown to be dependent upon temperature, and the implications of this are discussed. Less material is required than for the biconical or F3, and construction is considerably easier. Constructional details of the traps are given using locally available materials. The next step is to test the trap as a component of an appropriate technology for community‐participation control of G. pallidipes.
