1. How to kill flies and mosquitoes in pig farms

Fly control

There are many ways to deal with flies. The most commonly used method is to spray fly repellent or fly killing drugs in the house, but these methods cannot fundamentally solve the problem of flies. The following solution is mainly to eliminate the places where flies live and breed, which is a way to eradicate flies.

1. Adding drugs to the feed

Cyromazine is a highly effective insect growth regulator that kills the larvae of Diptera insects, especially several common fly larvae that breed in feces. Adding it to feed can kill flies before they become adults, and this method has achieved good results in many pig farms.

2. Eliminate fly breeding sites

Another way to completely solve the problem of flies is also to start with the eggs. The method is to cover the pig manure produced every day with plastic sheeting regularly, and suffocate the fly eggs in the plastic sheeting by sealing. It is not necessary to cover it every day, because it takes a certain amount of time for flies to turn from eggs into adults. Changing the sheeting every three days is enough to kill all the eggs. Note that when covering with plastic sheeting, it must be covered tightly. If there are holes in the plastic sheeting, it needs to be sealed with soil or other things. There must be no leaks. This method is a supplement to the first method, because most of the piglet feed in the pig farm is full-price feed, and it is impossible to add medicine to it. Piglet feed is the most wasteful feed, and piglet feces and spilled feed are still breeding places for flies.

Many pig farms still have a lot of flies in the pig house after adopting the above methods. The reason is often that they do not pay attention to the hygiene in the house, especially the feed leaked on the ground by lactating sows and piglets in the delivery room for a long time will become a breeding ground for flies. Regularly checking the pig house for the problem of spilled feed and solving it in time can also reduce the number of flies to a certain extent. If the above three methods are used in combination, it is very simple to solve the problem of flies.

Mosquito control

1. A large mosquito net covers the entire pig house

This method is more practical in small pig farms. If you nail window screens on the windows, you can effectively block the entry of mosquitoes. However, because the window screens are dense, they seriously affect the ventilation inside and outside the house, especially in the hot summer season, when the temperature inside the house is 2℃ to 3℃ higher than when the windows are opened for ventilation. While solving the problem of mosquitoes, it leads to excessively high house temperatures, especially long-term high temperatures in the delivery room, which will reduce the sow's feed intake, and high temperatures in the gestation house will also increase the number of stillbirths; the large mosquito net wraps the entire pig house, increasing the ventilation range inside and outside, and the ventilation effect is much better. If mechanical ventilation facilities are installed in the house, this measure will be much more perfect.

2. Adding drugs to stagnant water to kill insect eggs

It is to control the places where mosquito eggs are produced so that mosquitoes are killed before they become adults. This method is more practical in the water-scarce areas in the north. As long as pesticides are placed in places with stagnant water, such as drainage ditches and accumulated rainwater, most of the mosquito eggs will be killed every week. This can greatly reduce the number of mosquitoes in the pig house.

3. Mosquito repellent incense

Some pig farms may consider using mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes. The smell of mosquito coils makes mosquitoes afraid to approach, and lighting mosquito coils in the pig house can prevent mosquitoes from entering the pig house. Compared with the harm caused by mosquitoes to pigs, the investment in mosquito coils is relatively much less.

4. Remove weeds

Weeds are often where mosquitoes live during the day. If there are no weeds in the pig farm, mosquitoes will have no place to hide. Eliminating weeds will leave mosquitoes with nowhere to hide, and it is also a way to reduce mosquitoes.

6. Install mosquito-killing lamps inside and outside the pig house to attract mosquitoes and kill them with drugs.

2. Why do flies often fly around ceiling lights?

Flies aren't actually constantly around overhead lights, they just appear to be that way because you only notice them when they bother you, and you chase them away because you're there.

In life, we often find flies flying around ceiling lights in the house. Why do flies like to do this?

Flies don't actually do that, they just appear to do that. That's because you only notice them when they bother you. The fact is that you're there and you're chasing them away. Otherwise, they'd stay where they are and continue to do their annoying job of spreading disease.

However, once in the air, they do seem to prefer flying around the center of the room, unless it is bright daytime outside, which they prefer. One idea is that they don't like corners, and either use the lights as a high ground from which to launch attacks on competitors or to attract mates. Female houseflies that come to perch on the lights are disturbed by male flies patrolling nearby spaces, and the males begin competing to occupy the high ground, from which they can swoop out and drive off any other flies that threaten their airspace.

If you want revenge on a fly that's bothering you, here's a fun game: The next time you see a housefly hovering purposefully under one of your ceiling lights, throw a fake fly (a fly-sized piece of paper will do) at it. The fly will almost immediately move away from the level it's hovering in to chase the "intruder," whose arcing trajectory violates its airspace.

III. A collection of measures on how to prevent flies and mosquitoes in pig farms in summer

Spraying medicine will cause drug pollution. In addition to using fly-killing stickers, you can also use mosquito-killing lamps, which are green and environmentally friendly, without smoke pollution, and harmless to people. The color light of authentic mosquito-killing lamps uses the compound eyes of mosquitoes and some insects to attract them to the vicinity of the lamp, and then they are electrocuted by the power grid. Mosquito-killing lamps can also be used as general lighting at night, killing two birds with one stone.

Try Novartis's Yingdejing, which is used to control the reproduction of fly larvae in animal stables and is quite effective.

5. How to kill mosquitoes and flies in pig farms in summer

In summer, mosquitoes and flies are prone to overflowing in pig farms. Killing mosquitoes and flies can effectively reduce the occurrence of common summer diseases in pigs and reduce losses. Maintain good environmental hygiene. Pig feces should be cleaned up in time, and the pig feces shoveled out every day should be covered with plastic sheets to ensure a good seal to kill insect eggs; timely clean up the scattered feed, stagnant water, weeds, etc. in the pig farm.

Nailing window screens in the barn can effectively reduce the entry of mosquitoes and flies, with low cost and significant effect. However, ventilation and cooling in the barn must be done well, and ventilation fans can be installed at the same time to reduce the temperature in the barn.

Light mosquito coils or set up mosquito killer lamps

The pyrethrin in mosquito coils can paralyze the mosquito's nerves and cause its death. When using, it can be lit at a place with good air circulation, such as a door or window. Mosquito killer lamps use the mosquito's phototaxis and sensitivity to special wavelengths to induce mosquitoes to contact the net surface, and then burn the mosquitoes instantly through high voltage electricity. Mosquito killer lamps can be used at night. Turn off other indoor light sources and add some water and vinegar to the insect collection box of the mosquito killer lamp to better catch mosquitoes.

Treatment of stagnant water in pig farms

Timely cleaning of stagnant water in the pig farm can effectively prevent mosquito breeding. If this is not convenient, you can put NaOH or quicklime in the stagnant water to create an alkaline environment, which is not conducive to mosquito breeding. Spray insecticide regularly

The main ingredient of insecticides sold on the market is pyrethrin. Regular spraying of insecticides has a significant effect on killing mosquitoes and flies.
