Carbon dioxide was dispensed within (‘in’) a tent only. The detransformed mean daily catch (Catch) of each odour-baited devices is expressed as a proportion (Index) of that from an unbaited device. Asterisks indicate that the index is significantly different from unity at the P<0.05 (*) or P<0.01 (**) levels of probability. Treatments with the same experiment number (Expt.) were incorporated into the same Latin square.
