Abstract

Non-setting adhesives available were assessed for catching insects of medical and veterinary importance. Physical, chemical and handling properties are described. The results of tests are given using the most suitable adhesives against Glossina spp. (tsetse), Aedes aegypti (mosquito), Lutzomyia longipalpis (sandfly), triatomid bugs and cockroaches. Details are given of a formulation suitable for the capture of most insects in a variety of climatic conditions. The manufacturer's addresses are given to prevent difficulties in ordering and obtaining these products.
