Sanitation. House, stable and blow flies may be pests of daSanitation. House, stable and blow flies may be pests of dairy cattle kept on lots. These flies (filth flies) breed in spilled feed, bedding, decaying organic matter and manure mixed with moisture, dirt and organic matter. Sanitation is the first and most important step in control of filth flies.
Clean cattle pens, drainage areas, loafing sheds, stalls, feeding aprons, spilled feed and other decaying organic matter at 10-day intervals to minimize fly breeding. If this decaying organic matter is spread on fields, spread it thin enough for rapid drying. The material can be spread in the lot and, when dry, incorporated into mounds or low spots within the lot.
Take care to prevent moisture penetration in manure stored for later distribution. The manure stack should be steep-sloped and, if possible, packed. Manure stored in silo-type storage units may crust on the top, but cracks allow flies to deposit eggs in wet material below the crust. Agitating and/or adding water may be necessary (fly larvae are drowned by adding water).
If conditions are too wet to take sanitation measures, insecticides (larvicides) can be uSanitation. House, stable and blow flies may be pests of dairy cattle kept on lots.
