Fly control around farm property
Hey All,
EDIT: I'm in Canada BTW
We have a large farm property which has several manure piles around at any given time. The majority of our manure piles are outside, uncovered. We do have one covered manure building for our layers. We could have anywhere from 30-50 tonnes of manure at any given time.
I already have a daily routine of spraying but I'm more curious if there's anything out there, anything I could be doing differently,etc...
Currently I spray the piles daily. I rotate between Tempo SC Ultra, Perm-Up,Demand and Debantic.
We also acquired a large 20ft mortality composter last year and that had added another layer of challenge in controlling flies. I am currently trying the Agita paint of fly bait and it seems to be just OK, I've painted it onto the frame of the composter it's self as well as many other surfaces around it.
We have probably 10 fly bag traps placed around the property as well as a couple of the fancy buckets.
If you've got any suggestions, advice or information on methods, products etc..I would definitely love to hear about it.
I did finally upgrade from the old manual pump sprayers to a FlowZone Typhoon, so, hopefully that will help with getting better coverage on big piles as well as coating the inside walls of covered storage.
TIA!
