Can we get rid of flies?
We have already gotten used to the fact that with the onset of warm weather, flies also arrive. These fuzzy and not very pleasant insects, besides having the ability to annoy us while watching a movie, or to tease and irritate our pets for hours, knowing that they will never catch them, flies are also carriers of a large number of infectious diseases dangerous to the health of humans and animals.
LIFE CYCLE OF A FLY
To properly understand the seriousness and intentions of a fly, we need to know that during their average lifespan (up to a month), they are capable of laying over 1000 eggs and choose wetter places for this purpose. Just 24 hours later, fly larvae emerge, whose development lasts about 15 days, after which they seek dry and cool places where they transform into pupae. After that, the adult fly appears. This entire cycle is known as complete metamorphosis.
HOW TO GET RID OF HOUSE FLIES AND WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT THEIR APPEARANCE?
Before resorting to traditional methods of fighting these flying insects, such as swatting the fly with a fly swatter, or installing protective nets on windows, the following measures should be taken:
- The first rule to follow is to keep the rooms we inhabit impeccably clean.
- Trash in the house should be kept closed and regularly removed from the living areas.
- Cleaning tables and kitchen countertops is of utmost importance, as the smell of decay and stale food attracts flies.
- It is high time to remove all plants that have started to wilt.
- The smell of herbs drives away flies, so it can be beneficial to plant mint, basil, lavender, or bay leaf. Your lunch will also benefit from this.
- Also, products that "do the job" are so-called insect traps with UV lamps that attract and eliminate flies with their light.
If these methods fail you, or you don't have the time or patience to wait for results, we suggest you try the fly control product Agita 10 WG. This product was developed with the idea of destroying flies, not only quickly but also completely safely for you and your pets.
HOW TO GET RID OF FLIES ON A FARM?
Flies on farms can cause huge problems. In addition to carrying thousands of different bacteria, they also cause stress in animals, which can reduce milk production in ruminants by over 30%, or the quality of pork products can be lower, and ultimately, the result of all this is significant economic losses.

FLY LARVAE AS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM
The fact that about 80% of the environment on agricultural farms consists of fly eggs, larvae, and pupae leads us to conclude where we should seek a solution to this problem.
Females lay eggs in places where there is organic waste, on manure, bedding, etc. One of the tips is to regularly remove organic waste, as well as to turn manure once a week, but also to dispose of it in specially designated places that are far from the barn. Certainly, the most effective way is to use larvicides.
As long as spring temperatures do not rise, it is the right time for this action, and after that, as the number of flies increases, we also recommend using other biocidal products. One of the higher quality options is Agita 10WG. It is very easy to apply with a brush, achieving a longer-lasting effect of the product. If you are wondering whether AGITA can negatively affect your domestic animals, don't worry! Follow the instructions and you will get rid of a major concern in a completely safe way!
