Dust Control
have shown these materials
to be very effective in giving
long lasting control, even to
those flies that have
developed resistance to
other materials that were
being used previously. The
wettable powder for
mulation of Ectiban is ex
pected to provide longer
lasting control than the
liquid emulsifiable con
centrates.
If these materials are
used, do not expect an im
mediate and drastic
reduction in adult fly
numbers. Remember, these
materials work on the adult
flies only not on the eggs
nor the larvae. But, they will
help greatly to reduce future
egg laying activity. From
the time they are laid, fly
eggs require about 13 days to
develop into a fly
So if you have large
numbers of flies, you also
have large numbers of fly
eggs that are waiting to
hatch. Even if you spray
with one of these new
products, it will be another
two weeks before most of the
eggs now laid will hatch out
into adult flies, and before
you " K 'prve much of a
reduction in fly numbers
Best Control
The best method of con
trolling flies is to prevent
them by practicing good
sanitation. Preventing
buildups of flies also
prevents egg laying activity,
and that prevents future
flies. Flies like to breed in
damp, fibrous manure
and they multiply rapidly
Note the emphasis on damp
and fibrous.
Bedded manure packs are
excellent breeding places for
flies. So is the damp manure
that accumulates in comers

of lots and pens and along
the edges of curbs This
manure should be cleaned
out regularly to break up the
fly breeding cycle.
When manure is spread on
a -field, it dries out when
exposed to the sun and air,
and it becomes difficult for
fly eggs to develop. Manure
that cannot be spread can be
stored for future spreading
If stored, the surface of the
stored manure should be
kept either dry or liquid, but
not damp. This will help
prevent fly breeding ac
tivity
Fly larvae find it hard to
exist in dry crusts or liquids,
but they can develop in the
damp edge that joins the dry
and the liquid phase of the
stored manure
Fortunately though, in
many manure storages, this
damp edge is constantly
changing, getting either
wetter or drier as liquids
evaporate, as precipitation
falls or as manure is either
added or removed Thus,
even in these damp edges,
fly breeding activity is
frequently interrupted by
the constant changes in
moisture conditions.
Other Control Measures
Larvacides are also ef
fective in preventing fly
larvae developing m the
manure Rabon can be fed to
cattle through the gram
ration or through salt blocks.
If a larvacide is used, it
should be fed to all cattle on
the farm the milking herd,
dry cows, young stock,
steers, etc. The trick is to
have no “untreated”
manure on the farm where
flies can develop This
method has also helped to
reduce rat tail maggot
populations

Fly baits can be placed in
areas where flies con
centrate, but care should be
used to protect feed, cows,
pets and children from the
bait.
Fogging can provide
quick, temporary knock
down of flies present in the
barn at the time of spraying.
Flies are also discouraged
by breezes. These can be
created by using fans to
circulate large quantities of
air. If cows are kept indoors
during the heat of the day,
