Abstract:
1. The pH of opened carcasses could not be controlled satisfactorily by dusting chemicals on them; but it is also very unlikely that better results will be obtained by the use of solutions of chemicals instead of powders.
2. In view of the above finding is was not found possible to maintain
the pH of carcasses at a stage attractive to flies.
3. The attractiveness of carcasses and meat baits appears to depend on
a number of factors, and also on the nature of any added chemical. The pH-level alone does not appear a sufficient criterion for attractiveness.
