Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to assess effects of odour attractants on catch size of Glossina pallidipes Austen and Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newsteed at Sor Hydroelectric station around Sor River, West Ethiopia. Various doses of acetone, octenol and cow urine were used as odour attractants with monopyramidal traps. Three 5×5 Latin squares method was used making a total of 15 replicates. Acetone released at dose rate of 150mg/hr and 500mg/hr with 0.5mg/hr octenol and 1000mg/hr cow urine were found to be most effective in increasing catch size of Glossina pallidipes Austen by up to 11.26-12.54 times. Acetone released at dose rate of 2000mg/hr in combination with 0.5mg/hr octenol increased the catch only up to 4.07 times but cow urine alone produced increases in catch size by 2.54 times.
