Fly Control
In Dairy Barns
Is Important
Houseflies are a nuisance
in and around dairy bams.
They arc a source of annoy
ance to humans and animals.
They spread germs. They can
cause considerable decrease
in warm-season milk produc
ion. Good dairy management
definitely calls for control of
the housefly.
Sanitation is basic to a suc
cessful campaign against flies
in the bam, but spraying
with insecticides will prob
ably be necessary, too.. Ap
plication of a safe and effect
ive residual-type insecticide
will provide control of the
flies that inevitably appear

Diazinon insecticide is one
of the long-lasting residual
insecticides recommended for
control of the housefly in
dairy barns. Cornell Univer
sity terms it “one of the best
buys in residual fly control”.
Illinois College of Agricul
ture reports that sprays of
Diazinon will control house
flies for three to five weeks.
At Rutgers University, it is
described as “the insecticide
of choice”.
Diazinon can be used in
these four ways to control
flies in dairy barns and buil
dings: , .
1 Residual Spray. Apply
to the point of run-off a
spray of 2 to 4 quarts of Dia
zinon 25E (or 4 to 8 pounds
of Diazinon 25W) m 25 gain
lons of water to ceilings and
walls. One gallon of the a
bove spray will cover from
350 to 750 square feet of
area, depending upon the
surface to be treated Do not
spray animals or contaminate
their feed and drinking wa
ter.
2. Spot Bait Spray. Spray
a mixture of 1 pint of Diazi
non 25 and 1 pound of sugar
in 2Vz gallons of water at
doorways, windows and oth
er areas where flies tend to
congregate
3. Liquid Bait. Sprinkle a
mixture of 4 ounces of Diazi
non 25E and a pound of sug
ar (or 2 cups of Molasses) in
5 gallons of water lightly ov
er floor areas frequented by
flies Or sprinkle the mix on
burlap bags and distribute a
