Zagro's Zazafly and Zazacron control the housefly problem in livestock

Press release

 

It is a fact that the common housefly, which is also known as Musca Domestica, can pose serious health problems and nuisance to humans as well as livestock. It carries diseases which can have detrimental impact on public health and livestock production.

In livestock production, large numbers of houseflies can significantly reduce meat, egg and milk production resulting in substantial economic losses for farmers, by transmitting diseases through bacteria, viruses and protozoa.

HOW CAN WE CONTROL THE HOUSEFLY

Firstly, we need to know its biology and lifecycle.

Secondly, it can be controlled by the following methods:

1.Physical control

2. Biological control

3. Mechanical control

4. Chemical control

Chemical control using safe and effective insecticides like Azamethiphos is still the most effective method in farm fly control especially during the fly season where flies are plentiful.

WHAT IS AZAMETHIPHOS

Azamethiphos is an organo-phosphorous chemical compound. It has been used to control houseflies and storage pests for many years without any known resistant problems so far.

ZAGRO'S RANGE OF AZAMETHIPHOS PRODUCTS

Zagro has a good range of Azamethiphos products as follows:

 

Zazafly contains 1% Azamethiphos and an attractant called pheromone to attract the housefly. It is an easy and ready-to-use scatter bait for effective control of the housefly in livestock production facilities, garbage areas, restaurants, institutions and private households.

Zazacron contains 10% Azamethiphos and also the pheromone attractant to attract the housefly, similar to Zazafly. However, it is used as a paint-on or spray on surfaces where houseflies like to congregate.
