Abstract
Described are the uses of dimethyl disulfide having the structure: ##STR1## and dibutyl succinate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for sand flies (Psychodidae), house flies and beetles (Coleoptera). The dimethyl disulfide itself is specifically useful as an attractant for house flies and the dibutyl succinate is specifically useful as an attractant for Copleoptera and Psychodidae. The dibutyl succinate and dimethyl disulfide taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.
