Sanitation And Spraying Best Way To Control Flies
Two species of flies are
costing US livestock
producers about $225
million annually, ac-
cording to studies in
Illinois and Nebraska.
The two species, the
stable fly and housefly,
are most threatening to
leedlot cattle, dairy
cattle and swine, Dr
John Campbell, an en-
tomologist with the
University of Nebraska
said
The bloodsucking
stable fly reduces weight
gains in feedlot cattle and
milk production in dairy
cattle.
Houseflies may con
tribute directly to animal
production losses in dairy
cattle and swine, but
create most of their
damage through disease
transmission.
A prudent fly control
program is a good in-
vestment, according to
Campbell.
The best fly control
program for stockmen is
a two-step approach, he
says: Sanitation, first,
followed by application of
insecticides.
Campbell recom
mended cleaning up any
combination of spilled
grain, feed, moisture and
manure. Also make
certain waterers don’t
leak.
"Once you've done this,
it’s still necessary to use
insecticides Attack the
adult population,”
Campbell said
Ideally, an insecticide
for spraying livestock
premises would have
both knockdown (im-
mediate kill) and
residual qualities,
Campbell said
Pyrethroid insecticides
have that combination of
qualities, according to
the entomologist. A
formulation for use as a
premise spray, Per-
mectnn lo Percent EC
(emulsifiable con-
centrate), recently was
introduced by Anchor
Laboratories
The pyrethroid
products are “much
safer’’ and “much more
efficient than the OHM
we’ve used in the past,”
Campbell said
When implementing a
fly spray program in
barns and livestock
premises, any spray can
be made more effective
by knowing where and
when to spray
“Do your spraying
when flies are resting,
because it’s much easier
to control them when
they’re concentrated in a
much smaller area,” he
suggested.
During the day, stable
flies prefer sheltered
shade, but not dark in-
teriors. Stable flies tend
to rest on the building
fronts and shady areas or
vegetation during the hot
part of the day.
During the heat of the
day, both stable flies and
houseflies may seek
shady areas An ap
plication in the trees at
this time can be an ef-
fective control measure
Houseflies are easier to
spray at night. “They’re
a little like chickens
They roost somewhere at
night — inside a building
on the walls or ceilings or to spray. Most in-
under the eaves of a secticides work better at
building,” Campbell temperatures over 65
saicl degrees Fahrenheit,

Q The Consumer Price

flation. Juet how ac
curate is the ~ther
mometer"?
A. The Consumer Price
Index or CPI has been
coming under considerable
criticism lately There are
several reasons lor this
Examples of problems with
thk CPI include the fact
that a base year is chosen
for comparison right now
1972 73 Many feel this is
misleading since not only
prices but also buying
habits have changed a lot in
the past ten years Some
experts say the comparison
of 1972 73 is invalid Also
the Index supposedly
measures things consumer!
over a year Critics point
out however, that housing
comprises 40 percent of the
CPI * market basket" Many
economic expert, «ay a
house should not be
considered a consumable
good, but rather an in
vestment The CPI's
emphasis on current
housing costs, they insist
has magnified certain pens
of the Index sll out of
proportion. For these and
other reaaons. many
economists look st the CPI
with e skeptically teundiced
eye
