Abstract : For the monitoring and control of A. ludens evaluated different artisanal traps, using the commercial trap McPhail as a witness. From the statistical point of view, the best treatments for the attraction of females were transparent artisanal trap and McPhail (witness), both with statistical equality; the first with 1,820 individuals (50.4%) and the second with 1,474 (40.8%). Followed by arrest warrant blue artisan trap with 149 flies (4.1%), white 123 (3.4%) and red 38 (1%). In males the best treatments corresponded to the transparent artisanal trap with 593 individuals (59.8%) and McPhail with 306 (30.8%), and with lower catch, trap blue with 49 individuals (4.9%), white 38 (3.8%) and red 5 (0.5%).
