Comparison of sticky traps for stable flies in Nebraska with a Vestergaard Frandsen commercial version of the Nzi trap in polyester included in the experiment.

The polyester fabric used in this commercial version of the Nzi trap is inappropriate and hence catches were extremely low (see experiments in Mihok et al., 2006).
