<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Milk</strong><br />
WHAT TO DO<br />
Eliminate breeding<br />
sites<br />
Implement<br />
biological fly control<br />
Place traps<br />
Use registered<br />
pesticides<br />
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES<br />
Promptly remove spilled or spoiled feeds, particularly wet<br />
feeds like corn silage or haylage.<br />
Cover silage.<br />
Store baled straw and hay in a manner that ensures it<br />
remains dry.<br />
Remove feed and silage weekly from feed bunks, around<br />
waterers, feed racks, and partially emptied feed storage<br />
areas.<br />
Use natural predators of larval and adult flies and other<br />
strategies.<br />
Control adult house flies by using mechanical and sticky<br />
traps.<br />
• Place traps where flies have been seen to congregate.<br />
• Set out traps before the traditional fly season begins.<br />
• Check traps at least weekly and replace if needed.<br />
Store pesticides in original containers and in a safe and<br />
secure manner that does not contaminate milk, feed or<br />
water.<br />
Follow all label directions when using pesticides.<br />
Use only registered pesticides.<br />
When using insecticides, take special care to ensure the<br />
safety of animals and people on the farm, as well as the<br />
safety of food produced on the farm. Baits are insecticides<br />
combined with an attractant such as sugar, beer, molasses<br />
and insect hormones called pheromones.<br />
Use in places where house flies have been seen to<br />
congregate.<br />
Registered larvicides may be used to treat manure and<br />
other fly breeding sites to reduce the number of developing<br />
flies.<br />
