Abstract
The invention relates to the use of dibutyl malate as an attractant for domestically occurring flies, particularly of the species Musca domestica and Fannia canicularis, and to insect traps characterized by emanating dibutyl malate vapors. Preferably the dibutyl malate is diluted before evaporation with a liquid diluent or a solid diluent or carrier such that the concentration in or on the trap is below 10% by weight.
