Abstract
Described is a method of attracting Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae) using benzoin and/or dimethyl benzyl carbinyl acetate. The attractants taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices. The above-stated attractants are described to be useful as such are contained in a polymer which can be a biodegradable polymer, such as compositions containing a major proportion of poly (epsilon caprolactone) homopolymers.
