Fly Control In Barns Is Matter Of
Sanitation With Spray Program
The basis of any fly control
program is a sound sanitation
pi ogram, most authorities
agree, but sanitation can not
be counted on to do the whole
job
Dunng the past two years,
say Penn State University en
tomologists, spiays of dimetho
ate have given residual effec
tiveness for fom to eight
weeks when backed up by a
good sanitation pi ogram.
Richard Forry, 2016 Horse
shoe Road, who has opeiated
a custom spraying business for
four yeais, and has been using
the lesidual spray with the
trade name Cygon foi the past
thiee yeais, says, “Nothing I
have ever used has given me as
much satisfaction ”
Fony, who spiayed about
400 barns last year and expects
to spiay moie than that this
year, said fanners are finding
that if they conti ol the flies
in the barn, they control them
in the house, and that makes
the farm wife happy
Foiry’s three spiay rigs are
on the load eveiy day right
now One rig is kept busyi
spraying alfalfa fields for wee
vil conti 01, a second specializes
in disinfecting poultiy houses,
while the thud is used for
whitewashing dairy bains and
spiaying for flies
He said this week, most of
the farms wheie he sprayed
foi flies last yeai have request
ed repeats Most of these
faimers, he said, were using
fogging machines or some type
of hand opeiated spraying
equipment befoie they began
using the residual sprays, but
th£y aie finding that a custom
application does a bettei job of
control
When asked if the spray
could.not be applied with the
whitewash, he explained that
some of the effectiveness would
be lost because the whitewash
is put on much heavier than
the pesticide and would cover
some of the chemical “We
find that the best time to spray
for flies is two to five days
after whitewashing,” he said
While a large portion of
his bain spiaying business is
an dairy bams, Foiry also ap

before they have a chance to breed. Richard Forry pays
particular attention to spots such as this around barns
