Flies are a problem wherever you find them. For beef producers, there are four types that impact livestock herd health and productivity: houseflies, horn flies, stable flies and face flies. These are the same flies drawn to garbage, pet feces, roadkill, compost bins, backyard chicken coops and our outdoor activities that include food.
Kansas State University Research and Extension veterinary entomologist Cassandra Olds’ YouTube video provides excellent education in fly control that animal health pros can use in many settings. Consider posting it on social media, link it in newsletters and use it for a service club presentation. Fly control is everyone’s business.
Getting rid of adult <flies> is important but getting rid of the places where they breed is more important. By knowing which fly pest you have, you can look for areas where these flies may be breeding.” Cassandra Olds, PhD
