More Recommended Fly Control and Elimination Measures:
Exclusion
and Sanitation, Insecticides, Traps, and Aerosols
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.
.
- 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.
Residual Insecticides:
DEMON
WP
or Cynoff
WP are wettable powders, mixed with water to spray exterior
surfaces where flies would land, sprayed once a month.
Aerosols
Hand held space sprays for a quick knock down would be pyrethrin contact
aerosols:
KONK II

4. Fly Baits :
Insecticide baits such as Maxforce
Fly Bait can be used to aid in house-fly control.
The baits should be distributed along walls, window sills or other areas
where flies congregate inside buildings, and in areas outside where flies
congregate.
As with all fly control, sanitation is very important when using a fly
bait. Remove trash and other breeding sources, so the Fly bait will be
there only feeding source.
Make sure the baits are inaccessible to animals or children.
A recommended fly bait would be: MAXFORCE
FLY BAIT
Place the Advantage fly trap and the Maxforce fly bait
away from areas that you want to see flies, in that they have attractants
that will draw the flies.
You will want to place the Advantage trap in sunny area on cooler days
and shady areas on warmer days. The Advantage trap is designed to be hung.
Call for further information as each situation is very different with
perhaps different product recommendations.
