                                Technical Abstract: Filth flies are important insect pests that have caused over billions of dollars damage in animal production, food contamination and disease transmitting. The present presentation reports our recent findings on the development of filth fly control using semiochemical-based technologies to reduce their negative impacts. Several host and host environmental associated attractants were identified and implemented to increase captures of attractant-based mass trapping devices. We have further studied the effects of fly vision preference towards the enhancement of trap catches. We also explored plant-based antimicrobial agents being used to manipulate microbial community in the fly larval development. Novel botanical-based antibacterial agents were identified from several plant species, with demonstrated as larval growth inhibitors as well as oviposition deterrents. We have explored which bacterial species or their complex community that are important for the larval development, as well as how they affect infochemical interactions between filth flies and their host location. The further development using these findings in novel fly control strategy will be discussed.
