Abstract:		"Two performance (efficacy and attractiveness) comparisons of neonicotinoid baits QuickBayt(R) (imidacloprid) and Agita(R) (thiamethoxam) against filth flies were conducted under field conditions to determine suitability for use outdoors. The first experiment compared bait performance and the second compared effects of different applications on QuickBayt(R) performance. Applications compared were: (i) scattered in petri dish (SPD); (ii) wet-down in petri dish (WPD); (iii) scattered on cardboard (SCB) and (iv) painted on cardboards (PCB). Efficacy and attractiveness were assessed based on knockdown percentage (KD%) and number of flies feeding on baits, respectively. The KD% of QuickBayt(R) (34% +/- 3.0%) was not significantly higher than Agita(R) (29% +/- 1.3%) (t-test, P>0.05). Agita(R) (101 +/- 5.7 flies) was significantly more attractive to flies than QuickBayt(R) (76 +/- 4.8 flies) and the sugar solution (49 +/- 7.2) (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05). The PCB and SCB applications were significantly more attractive to filth flies than WPD and SPD (One-way ANOVA, P<0.05), however differences in KD% were not significantly different (One-way ANOVA, P>0.05). The two baits provided the same level of efficacy in a wide-open area against filth flies of various species. QuickBayt(R) was more versatile; efficacy was not significantly affected by different applications. Surface area and moisture affects attractiveness of the bait"
