Two applications of the Jolly-Seber model were used to estimate numbers and survival of house flies, Musca domestica L. The multisample, single-recapture census, using reared, marked flies and capture by baited jug-traps, was used to estimate numbers of adult horse flies in a two-story, high-rise, caged-layer poultry house. Density estimates ranged from 1.2 to 11.5 flies per m2 and had coefficients of variation of 0.12-0.52. Daily survival rates (proportion of population which did not die or emigrate during the interval between samples) were 0.19-0.66 per day. The multisample, multirecapture census, using marked native flies and capture by netting, was used to estimate numbers and survival of house flies in a screen-sided, narrow caged-layer poultry house. Estimated fly densities ranged from 24.8 to 1,159.6 flies per m2 with coefficients of variation of 0.03-0.48. Daily survival rates were 0.54-0.99 per day. Survival rates in both studies declined with increasing mean daily temperature (.degree. C) and on average were 0.32 lower in the high-rise house due to effects of dispersal and predation. House fly survival was not affected by marking with oil-soluble dyes, and capture of house flies using the baited jug-trap was not influenced by age, sex, or marked status of the flies. Assumptions in both census methods are discussed and shown to be met under conditions of these experiments.
