Area sprays Area sprays are short residual, knockdown insecticides. Use these sprays as low-concentrate, fine mists. Alternate these methods throughout the fly season. Insecticides applied directly to animals for fly control are ineffective, because many applications are required, which can stress livestock. Design of animal enclosures Fly breeding occurs where moisture, manure and soil are mixed.
Good drainage is essential around any livestock buildings.
The accumulation of water in association with manure increases the potential of stable fly to breed.
