Suction black light-traps covered with repellent-impregnated polyester mesh and deployed near horses attracted large numbers of <I>C. imicola,</I> which were seen near the treated net within a few minutes of the start of the experiment. Initial collections in the traps were &#8776;3 times as large as those in control traps with untreated mesh. Numbers collected in treated traps were similar to untreated control traps after 4 h. Traps with mesh treated with DEET or another plant-derived (Meliaceae) proprietary product, AG1000, acted as repellents relative to the control. The differential activity of repellents against blood-feeding Diptera is discussed.",
