Many producers have already placed creep feeders in pastures. This management practice is due largely to the continuation of the drought. If you are using creep feeders you have an excellent opportunity to place bullets, fly strips, or wicks of some type on the entrance of these feeders. Don't forget to keep these treated with the insecticide of preference to control flies. Many producers are feeding a mineral that contains a larvacide.
Flies tend to cross fences and move between their feeding periods.
One very important management practice is utilized when using any control method for fly control. This alone often adds to the profit potential of the herd by recognizing possible problems and eliminating them. There are also flytraps that can be used to reduce the number of flies. These can be placed between the grazing areas and watering facilities. This method will capture a large number of flies.
