The Facts
About Flies:
While
there are over 120,000 species of flies, this reference
guide will concentrate on the 6 species which represent
the vast majority of the problems for humans and
animals: house, stable, flesh, blow, blue & green
bottle, and dump flies.
Flies
have been around as long as mankind and have been found
in all seven continents. It has been documented that the
fly transmits deadly diseases such as typhoid fever,
dysentery, cholera, yaws, anthrax, leprosy and
tuberculosis just to name a few. In many instances,
flies are the indirect cause of low cattle weight and
poultry death.
A
Fly Is Born… During a fly's
lifetime (usually a 30 day cycle), a female fly will lay
anywhere from 400-600 eggs. Each fly egg hatches into a
small, grub-like, creature (larvae), which looks more
like an inchworm than a fly. By eating nutrients
from soil, ponds or even in the sea, larvae will grow to
adult fly size within a few days.
Some
Other Facts About Flies:
Flies have over 4,000 facets for
sight in each eye.
Flies are attracted by movement more than color.
Flies have a smelling distance of over 750 yards.
A fly's feeding range is usually limited to two
miles.
A single garbage can, if not emptied, can be the
breeding ground for 30,000 flies.
During warm weather, a fly can produce a family
generation in less than two weeks.
TYPES
OF FLIES:
There
are several kinds of flies that are common around farms,
residential areas and food-handling establishments.
House
Fly -
The
housefly, Musca domestica, is one of the most
common of all insects.It is a worldwide pest in homes,
barns, poultry houses, food-processing plants,
recreation areas, etc.
House
fly eggs are laid in almost any type of warm organic
material.Animal or poultry manure is an excellent
breeding medium. Decaying vegetation such as grass
clippings and garbage can also provide for optimum
breeding conditions.
Houseflies
are strong fliers and can become widely distributed by
flying, wind currents, vehicles and animals. Generally,
though, flies are abundant in the immediate vicinity of
their breeding site.
Stable
Fly -
The
stable fly, also known as the dog fly, is a
blood-sucking fly. Stable flies primarily attack animals
for blood, but in the absence of an animal will also
bite humans.
An
adult stable fly can fly up to 70 miles from their
breeding sites. The stable fly adult is similar to the
housefly in size and color. The stable fly, however, has
a long bayonet-like mouthpart for sucking blood. Unlike
many other fly species, both male and female stable
flies suck blood.
Stable
fly bites are extremely painful to both man and animal.
When hungry, stable flies are quite persistent and will
continue to pursue a blood meal even after being swatted
several times.
Flesh
Flies -
Flesh
flies are a scavenger fly species that usually feed on
meat scraps and dead animal carcasses.
Female
flesh flies retain eggs within their bodies until the
eggs are ready to hatch. The larvae are deposited
directly onto the food, which the larvae will eat from.
The life cycle for the flesh flies can be completed in 8
to 21 days.
Blow
Flies and Bottle Flies –
There
are quite a few species of blowflies and bottle flies
found in and around residences. Green bottle, blue
bottle, and bronze bottle flies may be more abundant in
urban areas than houseflies.
Blowflies
and bottle flies can breed on dead rodents and birds.
They usually breed in meat scraps, animal excrement, and
decaying animal matter around houses. The adult
flies are quite active inside and are strongly attracted
to light.
The
life cycle usually lasts 9-21 days from egg to adult
Fly
Control:
Why
Pest/Fly Control? -
As
we stated in The Facts about Flies, flies have been a
menace to mankind since biblical times. The importance
of fly control is paramount, if not for health reasons,
then for financial ones.
Poultry
losses run into the millions of dollars annually and
cattle weight has been known to drop 10-15% due to the
ever-pesky fly.
Every
year, newer, stronger chemical pesticides are developed
to help control the fly population. The primary reason
for new insecticides each year is "resistance"
to the products on the market. Resistance is the ability
of an insect population to withstand exposure to
insecticides. This is acquired by breeding from insects
that have survived previous exposures to a pesticide
that did not wipe out the whole population. The
surviving insect breed and develop a resistant strain
that survives insecticide treatment.
Methods
of Fly Control -
There
are four primary methods of pest management: cultural
control, mechanical control, biological control and
chemical control.
Cultural
Control-Control
by changing the human habits to reduce the problem.
Mechanical
Control- Eliminate
breeding sites, install proper drainage, use traps.
Biological
Control- Consists
of the use, exploitation, or manipulation of one
life form to suppress the population of another.
Chemical
Control- Use of
insecticides.
In
most cases, a combination of some or all of these
methods may be needed. This is called Integrated Pest
Management (IPM).
IPM
combines biological, mechanical and cultural techniques
with as few toxic chemicals as possible to reduce pest
populations to tolerable levels.
TRAPS, BAITS & ATTRACTANTS
I.
Traps:
Fly
traps come in many shapes and have been in use since
medieval times. Traps are designed in 1 of 2
configurations, bottom entry and top entry.
Bottom
Entry Traps -
This
design is also referred to as a "cone" entry.
Flies are attracted to a trap by some type of
attractant. In a bottom entry trap, the attractant is
placed in a tray under the inverted cone. Over this tray
is a shield that will block light. The only light the
fly will see is that at the top of the cone. The cone is
surrounded by a screen. As the fly exits the cone, it is
now trapped in the screen and dies of dehydration.
Top
Entry Traps -
In
a top entry fly trap there are 3-4 holes in the top of
the trap. These holes are separated by some sort of
divider and are usually covered with a cap to block out
the light source. The trap lid is placed on top of a
transparent jar and filled with attractant and water.
Once the fly enters the trap it cannot locate an exit,
consequently it exhausts itself, falls into the water
and drowns.
The
design of a fly trap is paramount. We all know the
attractant is what gets the fly to the trap; however,
you must have a combination of attractant and design to
get the fly to enter the trap. There are three
properties that must be present for an effective fly
trap:
1.Light
Source.
2.Interior
temperature.
3.Aromatic
dispensing of smell (Attractants).
Light
Source –
Once
at a trap, the fly will seek out the food source inside
the trap. The best designs involve moving the fly from
darkness into light. Once the fly lands on the dark
surface it will walk around using its feet sensors to
locate the food. The fly sees the light coming from the
hole and looks down, feeling secure that it can fly to
the food source. After feeding, the fly now seeks to
escape from the trap, but sees black when looking back
up the hole. With a constant effort to escape, the fly
tires, falls into the water and drowns.
Interior
Temperature –
The
purpose of the bottom entry to a trap is two fold. For
some unexplained reason, some flies will not enter a
trap from the top. It has been said that the smell
concentrates in the cone of the trap making the
attraction irresistible. As heat rises, the entry
temperature is close to that of the exterior, prompting
the fly to hesitate or not enter the trap at all.
The trap can become too hot.
Aromatic
Dispensing of Smell – (FLY BANQUET)
As
stated previously, the attractant is what gets the fly
to the trap. Neither the ‘top entry’ nor
‘bottom entry’ only traps have efficient airflow to
dispense the attractant to its potential. With
both a top and bottom entry, air runs through the trap
(a chimney effect), dispensing the attractant smell even
further than a ‘top’ or ‘bottom entry only’
trap.
Trap
Placement -
There
is no exact science for trap placement. Weather
conditions affect fly activity and trap effectiveness.
When temperatures are above 80F degrees, traps should be
placed in shaded areas. As temperatures fall below this,
fly activity will diminish and they will seek warmer
areas. The trap should then be moved to a sun exposed
area.
Traps
should be placed at various locations and heights to
determine the most effective placement. When testing the
placement of the trap, allow 24 to 48 hours for best
results.
1.
There is no exact science for trap placement. Weather
conditions affect fly activity and trap effectiveness.
2.
When temperatures are above 80oF degrees,
traps must be placed in shaded areas. As temperatures
fall below this, fly activity will diminish and they
will seek warmer areas. Move the trap into sun exposed
areas.
3.
Place traps outdoors where flies are a problem. The
outside perimeters of barns, houses, animal cages, etc.
are excellent locations.
4.
Avoid strong winds. Strong odors from dead flies may
occur if not kept in well-ventilated areas.
5.
Place traps at various locations and heights to
determine the most effective placement. Traps should not
be placed higher than 3’ from the ground.
6.
Allow 24-48 hours for activation, depending on
temperature.
7.
If placing traps in an area near pre-existing strong
odors, sometimes doubling the attractant amount will aid
in the trapping process.
8.
When the trap is full or after 10- 14 days of trapping,
empty the trap and replenish with new attractant.
9.
Always dispose of the dead flies in a proper manner. Do
not empty dead flies on to the ground. This may become
an additional breeding area for flies. We suggest
putting dead flies in a plastic garbage bag.
Note:
To save time and make changing & cleaning your
Advantage Flying Insect Trap even easier, a liner is
supplied which fits into the trap body. This will
allow you to use your trap as a permanent unit while
having the benefit of a disposable unit. It will also
save you money over the current disposable units.

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Where
do you use this product?
As
stated previously, there is no exact science for
trap placement because weather conditions affect
fly activity. Remember....
When
temperatures are 80oF degrees or
higher, traps must be in shaded areas.
*
When temperatures are lower than 80oF
degrees, move to direct sunlight.
*
Avoid strong winds.
*
Place trap at various locations and heights to
find the most effective spot.
How
does the trap work in a barn setting?
If
there are strong odors or lots of other food
sources available for the flies to feed on, move
the traps to the outside corners of the barn or
near grain feeders. Try to catch the flies
before they get into the barn. May need to
double the strength of Fly Banquet Fly
Attractant if there are strong competing odors.
How
do you use the product?
1.Remove
the top piece. Turn the top lid and remove.
2.Empty
dead flies into a bag to discard. Rinse out unit
or discard liner. Add the new attractant to a
clean or new liner and fill water up to the line
on the trap. Stir well.
3.
Replace both top and rain lid.
4.
Allow 24 hours for activation, 48 hours in
cooler weather.
How
often do you change the trap?
The
answer to this question will depend on the
flies. If the unit is full after 7 days, then
you will need to change based on the odor. While
our products do not have a harsh odor, dead
flies do.
How
many units do I need?
You should
place each trap 30-40 feet apart
