Description:
Flies are a nuisance on livestock, poultry, and equine facilities, and some can transmit pathogens causing diseases. Chemical control options, like baits, sprays, and on animal repellents are often used to control pest flies. However, overuse of insecticides can cause flies to develop insecticide resistance, reducing the success of fly control. In this video, insecticide resistance will be defined and ways to avoid insecticide resistance are described.
