We investigated cues used to locate a fresh carcass in the field by (1) a general subtractive method, applying an antibacterial or antifungal compound to reduce microbially derived volatiles, and (2) a specific additive method, placing chemical supplements near a fresh carcass. Five sulfur-containing compounds, known to result from bacterial metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, were studied: dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), methyl thiolacetate (MeSAc, also known as <i>S</i>-methyl thioacetate), and methyl thiocyanate (MeSCN).
