Abstract:		"The capture of free-living adults and nymphs of Amblyomma hebraeum, the main vector of heartwater in domestic and wild ruminants in South Africa, by means of attraction-aggregation-attachment-pheromone/carbon dioxide traps at five endemic localities in South Africa is described. Although the traps were used successfully at each of the localities, no determination of their efficiency in relation to the actual abundance of ticks at a particular site was made. This study confirmed that the traps could be used in a variety of ecological areas to locate populations of free-living adult A. hebraeum"
