Summary "Flytraps and Their Operation [1921] by F. C. Bishopp" is a scientific publication produced by the United States Department of Agriculture during the early 20th century. This bulletin focuses on various methods and tools for controlling flies, particularly the house fly and screw-worm fly, presenting a detailed examination of the effectiveness of flytraps and the diverse types available for use. The book serves as a practical guide for farmers and those interested in pest control, documenting experiments and offering recommendations on trap construction, bait types, and operational techniques. In the book, F. C. Bishopp provides thorough instructions on the construction and operation of different fly traps. He categorizes various species of flies and explains the best practices for attracting and capturing them, emphasizing the role of bait and the placement of traps. The publication discusses the design of effective traps such as the conical hoop trap and window traps, while warning against the over-reliance on flytraps as the sole method of pest control. Bishopp outlines the significance of combining trapping with other strategies, such as preventing fly breeding by managing waste and employing chemicals when necessary, thus presenting a holistic approach to efficient fly control.
