A good hog farm management program includes an understanding of harmful insects and how they affect your hogs.  A variety of fly types are commonly found in hog production facilities including house flies, fruit flies, sewer flies, and blowflies.

All animal production facilities — hogs, dairy, goats, sheep, bison, equine, poultry, etc. attract flies. Different animals attract different flies. Just because it is common to see flies doesn’t mean they can’t be held in check. More importantly, the negative impact of an out-of-control fly population can be devasting to your hog farm and the health and welfare of your current and future hog production.

Monitor fly populations regularly throughout the year. Don’t wait until fly numbers are at unacceptable levels before trying to reduce them. Have a written integrated pest management plan specifically targeting flies.

Flies can be an annoyance and a health concern for growing pigs. BalEnce Organic Fly Spray has shown excellent results in controlling the flies and fly larvae commonly found in the hog environment. BalEnce provides a safe, organic, and long-term method for combatting fly populations in your hog farm production facilities. BalEnce offers a systemic approach to targeting multiple points in the fly life cycle and its use provides a comprehensive approach in an integrated fly management program.

It is important to begin the application of balEnce Organic Fly Spray as soon as flies and/or larvae are observed as good early fly control is easier than attacking a fly population that has gotten out of control.

Call us to discuss how best to utilize and maximize the effect of balEnce with the various types of feeders, drinkers, manure storage, and manure moving equipment in the three distinct production phases (Production Facilities, Breeding Barns and Gestation Rooms, and Farrowing Rooms and Nurseries) in your facility.

The active ingredient in balEnce products is a naturally occurring fungus (Beauveria bassiana).  This fungus specifically targets and kills the flies but does not harm humans, livestock, pets, or the beneficial insects that are so important to our environment.

In order to provide our customers with a complete solution to their fly control problems, Terregena includes parasitic wasps, also called fly predators,as an important part of its fly control product line.
