Quikstrike Fly Abatement Strips

• The active ingredient, nithiazine, kills nuisance flies within seconds after feeding.
• Triple-attraction formula with two feeding attractants and a fly sex pheromone.
• Up to eight weeks of consistent control.
• For outdoor use near fly feeding areas, or in partially enclosed areas, such as loading docks and parking garages.

How Quikstrike Works


Nuisance flies are drawn to the strip by a triple-action attractant. The active ingredient is contained in a sugar-based matrix that flies find irresistible.

After flies locate the device, they explore the surface, then begin feeding. The active ingredient, nithiazine, enhances the fly's nerve functions, causing uncontrolled movement.

The Quick StrikeT Fly Abatement Strip uses two triple-action attractant containers one each end of the strip.
When the container is crushed, a pad absorbs the two feeding attractants and the fly sex pheromone that are contained in the ampoules, bringing flies to the area where they begin feeding on a fast-acting insecticide contained on a yellow-coated surface between the two ampoules.
The first container iis activated upon initial placement and typically lasts for two to four weeks, at which time the second container can be activated for continued fly attraction.

To help QuikStrike work its best, keep these tips in mind:



• In high fly populations or in enclosed structures use 1 Quick Strike per 100 feet.
  In low fly populations or enclosed structures use 1 Quick Strike per 300 feet.
• QuikStrike can be placed in any position, but vertical placement is best. When attaching to a vertical surface, use heavy-duty tape or Hercules Putty™ to facilitate placement.
• When possible, expose both sides of the strip to flies. You can also place QuikStrike with only one side exposed.
• Try to place QuikStrike in protected areas, since moisture and sunlight can reduce the residual length. To create a protected location, hang the strip inside a tall, inverted, five-gallon bucket with three sides removed.
• Place QuikStrike near the ground where flies feed. Placement higher than three feet is not recommended, since flies at this level are resting, not feeding.
• QuikStrike works best in medium-to-high fly populations. In low populations, it might appear as though flies are not being controlled. In fact, it may only be taking longer due to alternative food supplies.

Recommended Control and Elimination Measures for Flies 1. Exclusion and Sanitation: Sanitation is the first measure of defense, even though there are various traps and sprays that are used to kill flies, it is necessary to eliminate the source in order to eliminate them. Whenever possible, food and materials on which the flies can lay their eggs must be removed, destroyed, as a breeding medium, or isolated from the egg-laying adult. Killing adult flies will reduce infestation, but elimination of breeding areas is necessary for good management. The key to controlling these infestations is to locate and eliminate their breeding sources.   A space spray CB 80 Pyrethrin Aerosol (Pyrethrin spray) can be used as a quick kill, reducing populations of flying insects. Garbage cans and dumpsters should have tight-fitting lids and be cleaned regularly. Drainage will often aid control, getting rid of extra moisture. Openings of buildings should be tightly screened with screen. 2. Insecticides : Residual, Aerosols, and Fogging House flies rest on sunny surfaces in the daytime, and have a tendency to come inside or under eaves at night. These areas where the flies are resting can be sprayed with residual or contact insecticides. The flies rest on the sprayed surface and pick up enough insecticide to kill them. When spraying the surfaces, it should be wet enough to the point of runoff, but not enough to form puddles. Recommended residual Insecticides:   Cyper WP  is a wettable powder, mixed with water to spray exterior surfaces where flies would land, sprayed once a month. Wettable powders will show up visible on dark surfaces Use D-Fense SC , if you are concerned about the visiblity on dark surfaces. Cyper WP or D-Fense SC would work equally well for fly control. Aerosols: Hand held space sprays for a quick knock down would be pyrethrin contact aerosols: A space spray CB 80 Pyrethrin Aerosol (Pyrethrin spray) can be used as a quick kill, reducing populations of flying insects.   On Time Aerosol Automatic Dispenser   is an automatic dispenser to be used with the the V Tech Mist Metered Insect Killer. The On Time Automatic aerosol will last 30 days.   Fogging Insecticides-Non Residual If you find that fogging inside a building would be neccessary, we also carry fogging material and professional fogger equipment: Fogging Compounds and Equipment 3.
