Mean ± SE (cumulative % numbers) and number/cm2 of house flies and stable flies trapped by the DynaTrap Flylight DT-3009 and the Gardner GT-200 individually in a windowless room

Traps were placed on a countertop 90 cm from floor. Flies per replication = 50 (n = 6).
Means within fly species in columns followed by the same letters are not significantly different (P = 0.05; Ryan–Einot–Gabriel–Welsh multiple range test [SAS Institute 2014]).
DynaTrap Flylight (board)—to allow light from the trap to reflect from a surface behind the trap, much as it would if the trap had been plugged into an electrical wall outlet, a 48- × 41-cm high plywood panel was placed 10 cm behind trap.
HF = house fly; SF = stable fly.
DynaTrap Flylight glue board area: 12.7 × 6.4 cm = 81.3 cm2; Gardner GT-200 vertical glue board area: 36.8 × 19.7 cm high = 725.0 cm2; horizontal glue board area: 38.1 × 8.3 cm wide = 314.5 cm2; ∑ glue board area = 1039.5 cm2. Flies/cm2 = mean fly number/total glue board area per trap.
