Among the Top 10 New Products 2009 listed by Western FarmPress

A new spray-on house fly bait product, which can be used with granular
scatter fly baits, takes control of house flies in livestock
facilities to a new, higher level.

QuickBayt Spot Spray, made by Bayer Animal Health, can be applied
indoors and outdoors out of reach of livestock and domestic animals to
kill flies quickly on walls, posts, beams, ceilings and other vertical
and overhead surfaces where conventional scatter baits can’t be used.

It represents an entirely new concept in house fly control. There’s no
need to treat the entire area. You just spray the product in a large
spot about as wide as your out-stretched arms, to quickly make a bait
station that covers about 4 square feet. These spots, spaced a few
feet apart attract the flies. Once they feed on the treated area, they
die in less than a minute.

QuickBayt Spot Spray can be used around dairy facilities to control
house flies in milking parlors, free-stall barns and calf hutches.

It’s also very useful in egg laying facilities where wet manure
provide an ideal environment for flies and where the slatted floors
make it difficult to treat with granular baits. It can also be used in
feed lots, swine facilities, horse stables, kennels and other animal
confinement facilities.

The product’s active ingredient is imidacloprid, the same chemical
used in topical flea treatments for cats and dogs and for controlling
termites as well as insect pests in many fruit and nut crops.
