Fly Control Guidelines

Fly Breeding Sites

• Clean Feed and Manure Spills: Pick up feed and manure spills quickly, especially in wet spots, to stop flies from breeding.
• Reduce Wet Feed Spills: Try to keep feed spills to a minimum in damp areas, as moisture encourages flies.
• Remove Untreated Manure: Collect manure regularly before adding Solitude IGR to prevent flies from developing in untreated piles.
• Control Moisture in Bedding: Keep manure, hay, and straw as dry as possible in holding areas to discourage fly-friendly conditions.
• Limit Excess Hay: Remove leftover hay from pastures to avoid wet organic matter that attracts flies and creates breeding spots.
• Fix Water Leaks: Repair any leaking water sources quickly to prevent wet manure buildup, which can encourage flies.
• Clear Drainage Ditches: Remove weeds and clear standing water in drainage ditches to reduce places where flies can breed.
• Minimize Nearby Fly Sources: Watch out for fly populations on neighboring farms and take steps to reduce overall fly pressure.

Determine the Threshhold of Fly Tolerance

• Check Fly Pressure: Look at how many flies are around. Pressure changes with farm location, season, and how clean your barn is.
• Think About Manure Handling: How often you remove manure matters a lot. Regular cleanup keeps fly numbers lower and control easier.
• Check Nearby Farms: Flies from neighbors or other animal areas can add pressure. Watching this helps you plan better fly control.
• Set Your Control Level: Decide how much fly control your farm needs based on the season and local fly activity.
• Stick to a Routine: Keep a regular fly management schedule. Consistent practices help keep fly numbers down and horses comfortable.
