Abstract The house fly (Muscidae), flesh fly (Sarcophagidae), and blowfly (Calliphoridae) are ubiquitous pests commonly associated with urban waste and medically essential insects worldwide. They can transmit various pathogens microorganisms. Therefore, this preliminary study aimed to record the number of flies caught in the meat bait. This work is a study ofpre-experiment design (one-shot case study). Meat waste baits used in this study were fresh meat [beef (Bos indicus), chicken (Gallus gallusdomesticus), milkfish (Chanoschanos), and riceland prawn (Macrobrachiumlanchesteri)]. Treatment is carried out from 8 a.m. until noon at 4 p.m. for two days. Data collection was done on the second day after 4 p.m. Experimentand data collection is done once a week. Flies are counted, recorded, and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Interestingly, there are three families of flies: Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and Sarcophagidae, with Calliphoridae being the majority (68.3%; 239/350), followed by Muscidae. Riceland prawn produced the highest attraction (58.6%; 140/239), followed by fresh milkfish (26.8%), and the lowest is beef (5.9%). Thus, flytrap with bait help make decisions for fly control strategies.
