- Title
Conclusions from a dynamic population model for tsetse: response to comments.

- Abstract
The critique by Hargrove et al. (Popul Ecol, ) of our recently published paper on a tsetse population model (Barclay and Vreysen in Popul Ecol 53:89-110, ) has made some good points but has also misinterpreted the intent of some of our results as we presented them. Hargrove et al. rightly say that there is a mismatch between the size of the unit cells in the model (1 ha) and the iteration rate of the model (every 5 days), yielding too low a dispersal rate to simulate reality. However, they have misconstrued several of our results that we presented as examples to imply that those results were a necessary condition for control of tsetse, especially using traps and targets.
