"The acute pain produced by the insertion of the proboscis of the stable fly brings to any man a sudden realization that this biting insect is pointedly different from the house fly or typhoid fly, although hitherto his opinion had been that the two were identical. At times this fly become excessively abundant and occasions heavy losses among nearly all classes of live stock. Year in and year out it is a source of great annoyance, especially to horses and cattle, and is an all-to-common and persistent pest. The adult stable fly resembles the house fly, but is slightly broader and feeds principally on the blood of animals, which it draws with its long piercing mouth parts. It breeds in accumulations of various kinds of vegetable matter and also in manure, especially when the latter is mixed with straw. When straw stacks become wet soon after thrashing the flies breed in the decaying straw, and it is this set of conditions which produces the severe outbreaks. Spraying animals with repellents is not very satisfactory, but the numbers of stable flies can be kept down by caring properly for stable refuse an be stacking or otherwise disposing of straw as described in the subsequent pages of this bulletin."--Page [2].

Stable flies (Diptera: Muscidae) are major economic pests of pastured cattle. Their feeding activity causes billions of dollars of damage to the cattle industry. This project investigated the management of stable flies on pastured cattle using a novel Push-Pull treatment in field trials. The repellent Push treatment, a hydrogenated coconut oil containing approximately 70% of C8, C10, and C12 fatty acids in a starchpectin water formulation, was applied to the animals weekly. The Pull component was a stable fly trap augmented with an attractant (m-cresol). Permethrin and untreated controls were used as comparisons. Both permethrin and Push-Pull treatments reduced stable fly numbers on cattle compared with the control treatment. Traps used in pastures as part of the Push-Pull treatment captured large numbers of stable flies. However, the contribution of the traps to the observed reduction in stable fly infestation levels needs further investigation. This project also investigated the effects of altering visual and olfactory components of a stable fly trap on capture rates. This involved evaluating the effects of changing the trap appearance, lure size, and dose of m-cresol on stable fly capture rates. Trap appearance had no effect on fly capture; white traps captured the same number of flies as striped traps. Traps with lures, particularly larger sized lures, captured more flies. Our results demonstrate that m-cresol lures captured stable flies, but more investigation is needed. Our research suggests that the use of a Push-Pull treatment to manage stable flies may provide an alternative control method to the traditional pesticide application.
