Nuisance flies

Nuisance flies overview

Nuisance flies breed rapidly under ideal conditions such as those in intensive animal production units. Prime examples include dairies, feedlots, piggeries, chicken farms and horse studs, as well as council dumps and waste facilities.

Large numbers of flies cause irritation to stock and have the capacity to reduce productivity. They also are responsible for transmission of many disease organisms including those that cause pink eye and mastitis in dairy cattle.

While we make every effort to supply you with beneficial insects and mites to help improve your pest management, and to reduce the need for pesticides, we cannot guarantee the outcome in every situation.  Our biocontrol agents do feed readily on the species that we have specified in our tech sheets and on our website.  However, there are many variables including accurate pest identification, plant species, pest density, numbers of beneficials released, environmental conditions and history of pesticide usage that influence the outcomes.  We will always do our best to help you achieve a positive outcome but we simply cannot guarantee that your problem will be solved to your satisfaction.  Because every situation is unique we are constantly learning about how best to use our good bugs.  We appreciate any feedback from your experience.
