CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What to do if there are too many flies when raising pigs at home

1. What should I do if there are many flies when raising pigs at home?

In summer, especially on rainy days, it smells even worse. I have had this experience as well. Otherwise, I should move by myself. It is not easy to ask others to deal with it. Pigs, this thing smells really bad. Haha, others make money, but we suffer.

Install screens on all windows, check carefully to make sure there are no gaps, use curtains at the door, and close the door when entering or leaving. Keep the house clean and hygienic, and use insecticides or other insecticides to kill insects. After the effect is achieved, pay attention to maintain it.

2. Can house flies be raised in a sterile manner?

No, houseflies are not sterile. Flies have bacteria. There are fewer houseflies because home is cleaner than outside.

3. There are so many flies at home, is there any good way to deal with it?

The most fundamental way to eliminate flies is to eliminate their breeding grounds. In addition to maintaining good household hygiene, it is also important not to litter or defecate outdoors, and to keep the residential area and surrounding restaurants and markets clean and hygienic, and to manage domestic garbage. If there are problems with environmental hygiene, and those measures cannot be taken, flies will always visit the home, so residents should jointly supervise and maintain environmental hygiene.

When using fly glue, spread the glue flat. Since the glue contains maltose, it can attract flies to feed and stick them firmly. The stuck flies cannot fly, but when they are struggling to survive, they make buzzing sounds, which can attract other flies. Good quality glue can last for about a week and can catch hundreds of flies.

Blue light electronic fly traps are installed in hotels and restaurants. They can serve as indoor decorations and kill flies using a safely designed high-frequency voltage.

Generally speaking, prevention is better than cure. Pay attention to hygiene and don't litter or discharge sewage.

Flies like to eat rotten, smelly and dirty things. Any food they crawl over or bite can be contaminated with germs and viruses, which can easily make people and animals sick. They mainly spread dozens of zoonotic diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis and tuberculosis. They can also spread zoonotic parasitic diseases such as roundworms and lungworms, which are very harmful. The key measure to eliminate flies is to improve the environmental sanitation of livestock and poultry farms. According to different development stages, the main methods to eliminate flies are:

To eliminate flies, it is necessary to control the breeding grounds. It is important to maintain good hygiene inside and outside the livestock house, not to raise livestock and poultry in the wild, and to pile up manure in the manure storage tank, eliminate it in time and dispose of it harmlessly. Do not dump animal manure casually, strictly manage it, eliminate the breeding grounds, and not allow flies to have the opportunity to breed. These are the fundamental measures to eliminate flies.

Eliminating maggots Maggots are the larvae of flies. The easiest way to eliminate maggots is to use 1% trichlorfon solution and spray it regularly. The heat killing method is also very effective, that is, to cover the animal manure with very hot chaff ash, but it must be tightly closed to suffocate the maggots in the manure pit.

Eliminate fly pupae. First, use water to kill them. You can dig a small ditch around the maggot breeding ground. When the maggots crawl out after pupating, they can fall into the water and drown. Second, dig out the pupae. You should loosen the soil 15 cm deep 65 cm to 1 meter outside the maggot breeding ground, pick out the pupae with a small wooden clip, burn them to death or beat them to death with a stone roller, and then add lime and water to compact the loose soil to prevent the pupae from turning into flies and then coming out, eliminating future troubles.

Flies can be killed by using fly swatters or fly traps. A more suitable method is to use fly paper or 2% dipterex mixed in rice with sugar or rotten fish and vegetables to lure and kill flies. Keep it moist to enhance the toxic effect, but do not expose it to direct sunlight or rain. You can also use dipterex or chlorpyrifos to spray directly to kill flies. In the hot summer, when using electric fans for ventilation, you can add a few drops of wind oil on the fan blades, which can also effectively kill flies.

4. Why did the flies I kept at home die in less than a month?

A fly can live for about a month in the midsummer. But in low temperatures, its life span can be extended by 2 to 3 months. When the temperature is below 10 degrees, it can hardly move and its life span is longer. The adult life span of a common fly is 15 to 25 days. If its larval and pupal stages are included, its life span is 25 to 70 days.
