Protect your home or business from horn flies by learning techniques for identification and control.
Horn Fly
One technique to control horn flies are walk-through traps. These traps prey on horn flies hesitancy to enter a dark building. As cattle move into the large trap, flies leave the animal and are then trapped or killed by sticky traps or electrocution.
Another way to trap these pests is to set controlled fires in pastures. Since fires are set during their dormant season (late winter and early spring) alter the cow manure pats and helps reduce the number of pupae that are overwintering in or below them.
Horn flies are usually killed by exposing them to insecticides contained in:
Animal ear tags
Pour-on preparations
Sprays
Dust bags
Back rubs
