CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The most effective way to kill flies in chicken farms (What is the most effective way to kill flies in chicken farms)

1. How to deal with flies when raising poultry?

Flies come here because they are looking for smells. It cannot be said that there is feces. As long as there is an environment suitable for flies to lay eggs, flies will come here. Fly prevention and control measures:

1. Put domestic garbage in plastic bags and clear them out every day. Do not let them stay in one place for a long time to prevent flies from coming into contact and laying eggs.

2. Trash bins (boxes, carts) must be covered and removed in a timely manner.

3. Timely eliminate garbage and sanitary dead corners in front of and behind houses, inside and outside units.

4. Restaurants, stalls and places where food is available should have fly prevention and fly killing facilities.

5. Residents in urban areas are prohibited from raising poultry and livestock.

6. Do not use chicken, duck or fish viscera or bones as flower fertilizer.

7. Hotels, restaurants and bars should have complete fly prevention and control facilities, and garbage should be sealed and removed in time. 8. Natural enemies can be used for prevention and control. For example: spiders, geckos, etc.!

2. How to remove flies in the chicken coop without affecting the chickens’ food intake?

The problem of mosquitoes and flies in the chicken house is a common problem with a certain seasonality. There are more flies in the summer, and although there are also flies in the winter, they are relatively rare. However, when there are too many flies, it will have a great impact on the overall growth of the chickens.

Mosquito and fly damage:

Flies can spread various diseases, such as E. coli, Pasteurella, etc. Especially after chickens become sick, flies will accelerate the development of the disease.

Even when the chickens are healthy, dense swarms of flies constantly biting the chickens' eyes and other places will make them irritated and affect their feed intake.

If there are mosquitoes, the most direct manifestation is the harm of fowl pox, which will affect the appearance and sales price of chickens.

Common fly control solutions in the market:

There are two main types of fly killers that are relatively cheap and popular among farmers on the market:

1 Cyromazine.

Adding cyromazine to feed directly blocks the development of fly larvae and fundamentally reduces fly breeding. However, cyromazine is quite harmful to humans and may cause fetal malformations.

It is now banned in the market, and even if it is used, it is only used by a small number of people. It is recommended not to deliberately add this type of drug.

2. Attractants.

This type of drug is more popular among farmers in the market. You can see the effect of killing flies, and dense flies die. However, this type of drug has a fatal disadvantage: the more you use it, the more flies you will get.

I encountered a similar situation in a farmer's chicken coop. In the spring, there were not many flies. However, there were particularly many flies in the chicken coop of one farmer. When I asked the reason, it turned out that they used a fly-killing drug that could attract and kill flies.

This type of drug will attract flies from the surrounding areas into the chicken coop, resulting in more and more flies being killed, and if not killed, the flies will become excessive, forming a vicious cycle.

For both methods, it is not recommended for farmers to use. It is normal to have flies in the chicken house. If the number is not large, you don’t need to use medication. If you need to control it, you can control it from two aspects: management and rational use of medication:

1. Seal the chicken house.

Many chicken coops nowadays are relatively simple, so this is difficult to achieve, but it is necessary to consider adding screens at vents and other locations to reduce the number of flies that directly enter the chicken coop.

2. Clean the chicken coop.

The feces in the chicken house needs to be cleaned regularly to reduce the breeding of fly larvae.

3. Drug control.

Spraying drugs such as cypermethrin on the walls, aisles and other places in the chicken coop, where chickens do not move, can inhibit the survival of flies to a certain extent.

3. What should I do if there are a large number of flies inside and outside the chicken coop?

There are many flies in the chicken house in summer, which is a big problem affecting the hygiene of the chicken farm.

4. How to eliminate flies in farms?

I am @我与的小农庄, and I have been working in the breeding industry for nearly 17 years. Killing flies has always been a task that farm managers have been working hard on. If you are not careful, these annoying little "buzzing" creatures will multiply rapidly and come back again. If it is not a fully enclosed farm, it is almost unrealistic to exterminate flies in the farm. You can only kill as many as possible and reduce their existence. Next, let's talk about the experience of "fighting" against flies over the years. In the "fighting" against flies, you must remember several key points.

1. Killing fly eggs is the key.

As the saying goes, "to cut the grass, you must remove the root." To eliminate flies, you must start by killing the fly eggs. Only by killing the fly eggs can you prevent a large-scale outbreak of flies. Usually, the most effective way to kill fly eggs in farms is to add cyromazine-type fly killer drugs, also known as fly killer, to the feed. In this way, the fly eggs in the feces discharged by the animals cannot survive. You can also sprinkle cyromazine-type fly killer powder on fresh feces where flies are concentrated. In this way, the flies will die after they surround it and inhale the powder.

2. Environmental sanitation is the key.

Flies are pests with a particularly sensitive sense of smell. They can smell odors thousands of meters away. It's funny and magical to say that flies have such a sensitive sense of smell, but flies don't have a "nose". What do they rely on to smell? It turns out that the "nose" of flies - olfactory receptors are distributed on a pair of antennae on the head. Each "nose" has only one "nostril" that communicates with the outside world, containing hundreds of olfactory nerve cells. If there is a smell entering the "nostril", these nerves immediately convert the odor stimulation into nerve electrical impulses and send them to the brain. The brain can distinguish substances with different odors based on the differences in nerve electrical impulses generated by different odor substances. Therefore, the antennae of flies are like a sensitive gas analyzer. If the environmental sanitation is good, there is no food smell that flies need, or there is no such strong smell, flies will naturally fly in other directions. Therefore, as the person in charge of the farm, it is better to put environmental governance and sanitation cleaning in the key position to arrange and deal with it.

3. Proper protective isolation is the key.

The flies inside are eliminated and the sanitation is cleaned every day, but the farm is a farm after all. It is impossible to have no smell and residue at all, because the breeding facilities of most of our farms are not advanced to that level. Therefore, as a farm with conditions, it is key to isolate it from the outside world and try to isolate the flies outside our sheds. How to isolate? Install protective measures such as screens and mesh on the doors and windows of the shed. Some people may ask, I raise geese or free-range chickens, the site is so large, how to install mesh? That's right, according to @我与我小农庄's observation, there are fewer flies in places with larger free-range sites. This may be caused by the scattered excrement of animals raised in the scattered sites. In a situation like this, just do a good job of enclosing the mesh in the concentrated habitat area.

4. Regular disinfection is the key.

As a highly effective and low-toxic insecticide, cypermethrin can effectively and quickly kill flies, fleas, maggots and other pests. It has a certain preventive effect on the killing of infectious virus media in farms. @My Small Farm uses it twice a month in the peak breeding season of parasites and flies in the pig farm, but in the goose farm it is only used on the ceiling and surrounding areas of the shed. There is no practice of disinfecting the farm site, so I want to explain it specifically.

To sum up, flies, as carriers of diseases, have always been a major concern for people. In order to eliminate flies in farms and reduce the occurrence of breeding disasters, you might as well try the four key practices of @Me and My Small Farm, which will definitely produce good results.

Let’s talk about people and things related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and share practical experience in planting and breeding. Welcome to follow @我与我的小农庄, and share your insights in the comment section.

5. How to eliminate flies in breeding farms? What should we do if there are too many flies in breeding farms?

Summer is here. Besides the headaches caused by diseases, farms also have endless flies. Although flies are not parasites, the harm they cause is more serious than any parasitic disease, so they must also be treated as parasites.

1. Clean up the environment where flies breed:

Feces are the main breeding ground for flies. The farm collects the feces produced into septic tanks or special manure pits every day, and seals and ferments them with plastic regularly. (No air leakage)

2. Cleanliness of the environment in the farm:

The feces and spilled feed in the pens are the main breeding grounds for flies. The hygiene of the pens is equally important and must be done well every day. Check the spilled feed regularly and clean it up in time. If conditions permit, you can install an automatic feces scraping system (which not only solves the problem of difficult feces treatment, but also saves labor and time). You can refer to
