AB  - Despite the veterinary and medical importance of horse flies, deer flies, and 
      yellow flies, only a few trap types have been evaluated to monitor adult 
      population dynamics. Currently, three trap types are being utilized (H-trap, 
      Horse Pal(R) (HP), and Nzi trap), but no head-to-head comparisons have been 
      reported. Thus, we conducted comparative trapping studies in Florida and North 
      Carolina. At two study sites in Florida, the efficacy of all three trap types was 
      compared, but only the H-trap and HP were compared in North Carolina. Although 
      trap type was significant at all sites, the trap type which caught the most 
      specimens was not the same. In Florida at the Lower Suwannee Wildlife Refuge 
      (LSWR) site, the H-trap caught the most specimens (2,006), followed in decreasing 
      order by Nzi (938) and HP (541). At the Cedar Ridge Ranch site, the Nzi caught 
      significantly more specimens (1,439) than the H-trap (215) and HP (161), which 
      were not significantly different from each other. In North Carolina, the H-trap 
      caught approximately twice as many specimens as the HP (1,458 vs 720). These trap 
      comparison studies were followed up by a study on the efficacy of various bait 
      combinations: (No Bait (NB), dry ice only (DI), Trap Tech Lure (TTL) only, and DI 
      + TTL), which was conducted only at the two Florida sites with H-traps. At both 
      sites, bait combinations significantly affected trap collections. One pattern (DI 
      +TTL > DI > TTL > NB) was recorded at the LSWR, while at the Cedar River Ranch 
      the pattern was DI > DI +TTL > TTL > NB. Our data showed that trap type and bait 
      combination significantly influence overall adult tabanid abundance as well as 
      individual species composition.
