“For best results,” he
says, “a combination of
formulations should be
used.” Flies exposed time

develop a resistance to that
spray. Therefor, different
materials in different for

most effective.

“Use baits, residual
sprays, and larvacides
throughout the entire fly
season,” comments Collison,
“And, don’t allow spoiled
feed or broken eggs to get
into the manure-once this
happens the adult flies are
attaacted and you have a hot
spot,” he says.
The Penn State en
tomologist also recommends
keeping the manure as dry
as possible since this will be
less attractive to adult flies
and less effective for
developing maggots.
Other suggestions Collison
gives are to repair leaky
waterers and to keep weeds
adjacent to the building
mowed.
“A residual insecticide
when thoroughly applied
inside the operation, may

control flies for several
weeks,” Collison says.
“However, if it is applied on
the side of a building in
direct sunlight, that
material will break down
very rapidly.” The same
thing happens to residual
sprays applied to brick.
“You might go in and paint
or white wash before you
apply residual sprays,”
notes the entomologist.
Two other precautions he
gives are not to spray
styrofoam insulation and
not to mix larvacides with
water.
“Water liquified the
manure,” he points out,
“Which only stimulated the
fly breeding problem. Oil as
a solvent, however, inhibits
fly development.
