Abstract

Releases of chemosterilized stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), that equalled existing field populations (1:1 ratio) markedly reduced a field population in Florida. The released insects were relatively long lived in the field and did not migrate far from the nearest source of food and oviposition medium.
