Flies Be Gone Helps
Eliminate the following:
|
Horse
Fly
(Tabanidae, order Diptera) Horse flies feed by sucking
blood and cause a painful and severe bite. These flying pests are
closely related to Deer flies. Often confused with Deer flies, Horse
flies are a little larger in size. The wings of this fly have dark
markings and their body is brown or black in color. Gray in color,
with 4 dark stripes, it breeds in damp organic matter and thrives
in horse manure. |

Head Fly (Tabanus nigrovittatus)
Greenhead flies are an abundant and bothersome summertime pest found
along our coastal marshes. Their "cousins" (Black Flies,
Horse Flies, Stable Flies) are highly resistant to insect sprays and
repellents. Known for their painful bite you'll can find 70 larvae
in a single square yard of marsh sod. Common practice has been the
use of large, combersome,
box traps. However, Flies Be Gone non-toxic fly traps are maintenance
free, less expensive and PROVEN more effective. |

House
Fly (Mucosa
domestica) is a prime carrier of human disease. As many as 33 million
microorganisms may flourish in its gut and a half billion more reside
all over its body and legs. They transmit
pinkeye and roundworms some 65 deases.

Stable
Fly (Stomoxys
calcitrans) is visually almost indistinguishable
from the house fly—but if one bites you, you’ll quickly
know the difference! The stable has a bayonet-like mouthpart and
is a voracious blood feeder that can cause considerable blood loss
and transmits many blood-born diseases. It breeds in wet organic
matter such as soggy hay, grain or feed, fermenting weed or grass
cuttings and manure.
Stable
flies cause economic damage to horses in every state. Stable flies
transmit African Horse Sickness, Swamp Fever (Equine Infectious
Anemia) and Anthrax. These flies also transmit Tuberculosis, Myiasis,
Relapsing Fever, Antrax, Amoebic Dysentery and Leprosy to humans
also they are an intermediate host of Habronema Microstoma stomach
parasite. attack animals’ (including dogs and cats) legs and
bellies, and feed on blood several times a day. They cause painful
biting, animal fatigue, and weight loss. |

Blow
Fly (Calliphoridae) The
name blow-fly comes from an older English term for meat that had eggs
laid on it, which was said to be fly blown. Adults carry diseases
such as dysentery and transmit in humans and animals myiasis, bacterial
and other infections. Microorganisms and/or mycobacterium may be released
through the body and may become infected during this process.
|

Cluster
Fly (Pollenia)
flies are serious pests of cattle and horses. They often overwinter
in homes and other structures near pastures where these animals are
kept. Eggs and larvae develop in fresh cattle dung (not when it is
crushed over). During the summer, adults annoy the faces of cattle
and horses, where they lap exudation from the eyes, nostrils and mouth.
|
 |
| Face
Fly (Musca
autumnalis) cause extreme annoyance to cattle on pasture all summer.
They feed on animal secretions such as tears, saliva, nasal mucus,
and blood oozing from wounds. They also sometimes serve as vectors
of eye diseases and parasites such as pinkeye and eye worms. |
 |
 |
| Flesh
Fly (Sarcophagidae) breed
in carrion, dung, or decaying material, but a few species lay their
eggs in the open wounds of mammals, hence their common name. Some
flesh fly larvae are internal parasites of other insects. These larvae,
commonly known as maggots, live for about 5-10 days, before descending
into the soil and maturing into adulthood. |
 |
| Green
Bottle Fly (Lucilia sericata)
is a common blow-fly found in most areas of the world. The larvae
of the fly are also used for maggot therapy. feeding on the decomposing
animal matter they were hatched in. They are fully grown in two to
ten days, when they will seek soil in which they will burrow to pupate.
The adults then emerge to mate, beginning the cycle again. During
cold weather, pupae and adults can hibernate until warmer temperatures
revive them. |
 |
| Horn
Fly
(Haematobia irritans) cause painful bites; each fly punctures the
cow’s skin 20 to 40 times a day. A population of several thousand
horn flies may be present on one animal. When large numbers of these
flies are on cattle, the cattle bunch and expend considerable effort
fighting the flies. |
