Everyone's Shouting About A New Fly Killer

How To Use TwentyOne

Resting Sites of Flies

The location of the resting places immediately following emergence is very important when considering fly control with insecticides. The resting places of adult flies are also important since strategic insecticide application is far more effective than random application.

During the daytime flies are found mainly in their breeding and feeding areas, e.g. in the pit of a deep pit house. If a large number of flies are seen upstairs in a deep pit house the chances are that there are far more in the pit below.

Application

As a wet spray the product should be mixed with water at the recommended rate and applied with a knapsack sprayer or similar to equivalent of 30% of wall and ceiling surface areas only. Surfaces to be treated should be as clean and as dust free as possible. Particular attention should be paid to the preferred resting places of flies (see previous text).

As a Paint the product should be mixed with water at the recommended rate and applied with a paint brush to the equivalent of 2.5% of wall and ceiling surfaces only. Surfaces to be treated should be as clean and as dust free as possible. This particular method of application may be suited to the smaller enclosures where flies breed in the dung close to the animals. In this situation flies often rest on the outsides of the feed troughs. TwentyOne can be painted in strips along the outsides of feed troughs and in other preferred resting areas (see previous text). The presence of fly spots often indicates these areas.

Whichever method of application is used it is important to remember that flies may still be seen for 10-15 days after application of TwentyOne because the eggs and larvae that were in the dung at the time of application will continue to emerge. Ideally it is better to apply TwentyOne prior to an anticipated fly problem.

Pig Housing Treatment

Flies breed mostly within the slurry tank(s). It is important to treat these areas thoroughly and reach any flies there.

In housing with slatted floors, the entire slatted area needs to be treated. For housing with loose deep bedding, the edges need to be treated in about 50cm strips wide.

Treat the ceilings and around the top of the walls. Don't forget to also treat around posts, pillars, door frames and window frames.

For best results paint concentrated areas of approximately 5-10 square metres.

Paint: Mix 500g of product with 500ml of lukewarm water, mix well until it forms a paste sufficiently liquid that it can be applied with a paint brush. This amount should be used for spots covering approximately 5 - 10 square metres in total area. (where insufficient surface area is available or where some slight discolouration would be unacceptable, paint the solution onto pieces of cardboard or thin wood and hang from ceiling).

Spray: Mix 125g of product with 5 litres of lukewarm water then apply diluted product by spray to 100 --square metres of surface.

Cattle Housing Treatment

In housing with slatted floors, the entire slatted area needs to be treated. For housing with loose deep bedding, the edges need to be treated in about 50cm strips wide.

Treat around the top of the walls and around posts, pillars, door frames and window frames.

For best results paint concentrated areas of approximately 5-10 square metres.

Paint: Mix 500g of product with 500ml of lukewarm water, mix well until it forms a paste sufficiently liquid that it can be applied with a paint brush. This amount should be used for spots covering approximately 5 - 10 square metres in total area. (where insufficient surface area is available or where some slight discolouration would be unacceptable, paint the solution onto pieces of cardboard or thin wood and hang from ceiling).

Spray: Mix 125g of product with 5 litres of lukewarm water then apply diluted product by spray to 100 --square metres of surface.

Poultry Housing Treatment

Treat the entire walls and ceilings including posts, pillars, door frames and window frames.

Entire dung areas also need to be treated. For best results treat dung areas in the first week after dung is removed (when the dung is no more than approximately 10cm deep). In poultry houses where there is no floor beneath the cages, TwentyOne solution can be applied immediately after dung is removed.

Paint: Mix 500g of product with 500ml of lukewarm water, mix well until it forms a paste sufficiently liquid that it can be applied with a paint brush. This amount should be used for spots covering approximately 5 - 10 square metres in total area. (where insufficient surface area is available or where some slight discolouration would be unacceptable, paint the solution onto pieces of cardboard or thin wood and hang from ceiling).

Spray: Mix 125g of product with 5 litres of lukewarm water then apply diluted product by spray to 100 --square metres of surface.
