【Abstract】 Objective To monitor the population density and seasonal fluctuation of flies at different areas of Hebei, and compare the trapping efficacy of different baits. Methods Cage trapping method was used in this study. Results A total of 19 species were caught, belonging to 4 families, 14 genera. Musca domestica was dominant specie. Muscidae were mainly trapped with putrid fish, accounting for 54.22% of the total. Muscidae and Calliphoridae were mostly caught with a mixture of brown sugar and vinegar, accounting for 39.17% and 36.08%, respectively. The season fluctuation tendency of flies caught with two baits was similar, and the peak was all in August. Conclusion According to the surveillance data, the species controlled mainly are M.domestica, Chrysomya megacephala, Lucilia sericata, Boettcherisca peregrine and M.stabulans. Environment improvement and the reduction of bleeding sites are the basic measures to control fly density. The putrid fish is worthy to be recommended as a surveillance method of flies density.
