- Abstract
The article reports on a study that examined and compared the responses of Southern house mosquitoes, houseflies, American cockroach, house crickets and pink bollworm to flickering and non-flickering cool white fluorescent light sources. Findings indicated that flickering light sources would attract more of these insect pests and may be used in detection and monitoring devices.
