<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 />
