  abstract = {{H}ere we describe field trials designed to standardize tools for the control of {G}lossina tachinoides, {G}. palpalis gambiensis and {G}. morsitans submorsitans in {W}est {A}frica based on existing trap/target/bait technology. {B}lue and black biconical and monoconical traps and 1 m(2) targets were made in either phthalogen blue cotton, phthalogen blue cotton/polyester or turquoise blue polyester/viscose (all with a peak reflectance between 450-480 nm) and a black polyester. {B}ecause targets were covered in adhesive film, they proved to be significantly better trapping devices than either of the two trap types for all three species (up to 14 times more for {G}. tachinoides, 10 times more for {G}. palpalis gambiensis, and 6.5 times for {G}. morsitans submorsitans). {T}he relative performance of the devices in the three blue cloths tested was the same when unbaited or baited with a mixture of phenols, 1-octen-3-ol and acetone. {S}ince insecticide-impregnated devices act via contact with flies, we enumerated which device (traps or targets) served as the best object for flies to land on by also covering the cloth parts of traps with adhesive film. {D}espite the fact that the biconical trap proved to be the best landing device for the three species, the difference over the target (20-30%) was not significant. {T}his experiment also allowed an estimation of trap efficiency, i.e. the proportion of flies landing on a trap that are caught in its cage. {A} low overall efficiency of the biconical or monoconical traps of between 11-24% was recorded for all three species. {T}hese results show that targets can be used as practical devices for population suppression of the three species studied. {B}iconical traps can be used for population monitoring, but a correction factor of 5-10 fold needs to be applied to captures to compensate for the poor trapping efficiency of this device for the three species.},
