In this BPCA Digital Forum-sponsored session, Jeferson de Andrade from BASF explores the challenges of professional fly control and introduces Seclira® Fly Bait, a new ready-to-use aerosol bait innovation expected for the UK market.
Jeferson explains why flies can be so difficult to manage, including their fast life cycle, exponential population growth, hidden larval development sites and ability to travel from neighbouring areas. He also looks at why successful fly control needs a full integrated pest management approach, rather than relying on a single product or treatment.
The session covers:
- Why flies are a challenge in urban, rural and commercial environments
- The role of environmental conditions in rapid fly population growth
- Why identifying breeding sites is essential
- The importance of larval control as well as adult fly control
- How flies may travel from neighbouring sites
- The role of inspection, sanitation, customer cooperation and IPM
- Different fly control tools, including residual treatments, baiting, trapping and exclusion
- How Seclira® Fly Bait works as a ready-to-use aerosol bait
- The role of dinotefuran and food-based attractants
- Why spot and band treatments are important
- Field trial results from high-infestation environments
- How baiting can support wider resistance management
- Questions on residual life, reapplication, temperature and environmental factors.
This session is aimed at pest management professionals looking to better understand fly behaviour, improve control strategies and learn about new tools entering the professional pest control market.
