Insecticide Treated Livestock

Insecticide treated cattle offer numerous advantages over odour-baited traps and targets. Cattle are used as moving targets and hence no cost for making artificial baits and reduced use of human labour.

The cattle can move to all possible tsetse breeding and resting sites therefore are more efficient in tsetse control. The method can be based on existing infrastructure like dips and spray races which can bring about significant savings in operational costs.

Other techniques can be integrated to address areas like hills not reachable by animal targets.
