Don’t need a Flyslayer?

Think you can cope with those fly infestations?

Think again. You may not want to see all those flies buzzing around in a box or upset natures balance by culling the fly population, but the fact is humans have already messed up natures balance, thanks to global warming, and when it comes to flies, you can’t afford to take the risk.

Considering that flies spend most of their time feeding on human and animal waste, you may prefer to think of them buzzing around in a box as opposed to regurgitating all over your food

 



Want to protect your health?

Flies have very sticky feet, which means, whatever they stand in, they take to the very next place they visit, this could be your dinner plate, work top or uncovered food.

Flies follow each other, they watch each other constantly, and where one finds food others will gather. This fact is a big part of the success of the Flyslayer as it traps the flies alive and their buzzing activity in the trap attracts many other flies.

The buzzing flies release their own natural pheromones, which aid in luring even more unwitting insects to the trap. Fly control can be divided into two main areas, Prevention and Eradication; both are aimed at some point in the life cycle of the fly.

The Flyslayer is the most economical, effective, environmentally safe, non-chemical answer to both aspects of the fly control. It captures the adult breeding population, thus preventing and cutting down on future fly populations, and it eradicates by trapping flies efficiently, quickly and safely.

We tend to see flies only as a minor irritation, but it is a known fact that they are one of the major carriers of disease throughout the world.

Flies eat food by regurgitating their digestive juices and their stomach contents, its thought that there are around 10,000 flies to every single person on the planet. No wonder we need the Flyslayer!

 

Life cycle of the fly

Female houseflies deposit their eggs in decaying organic matter such as garbage and human and animal excrement. Horse manure is the preferred breeding ground. Each female deposits about 100-150 eggs in a day or two. These eggs hatch out into maggots. The maggots remain in the breeding media for 4-10 days, feeding and growing. After 3 larvae malts

Fully-grown larvae climb to the surface of the breeding media before pupating. They have been known to crawl a distance of 150 f tin order to pupate. The pupa is light brown in colour, oval shaped object in which the larva changes into an adult fly. Adults mate within one to two days. The life cycle from egg to adult can be complete in as little as one week, but usually takes three. Adult flies normally live for 2-3 weeks during the summer, but can survive for up to 3 months at lower temperatures. Some over winter outdoors in sheltered areas. Such as crevices in buildings.

Where do flies hide at night?

Flies are inactive at night, hiding on ceiling beams, and overhead wires, in dark corners within building, in trees and shrubs, they also congregate in the ceiling areas of poultry houses, barns and cattle sheds.           
Houseflies usually stay near their breeding places although records show they can fly 4/6 miles within twenty-four hours and further when carried on the wind

Disease

We tend to see flies only as a minor irritation, but it is a known fact that they are one of the major carriers of disease throughout the world. Houseflies are a danger to the health of man and animal solely because it carries and spreads disease organisms i.e. bacteria and fungi.  It is largely as a result of their indiscriminate feeding habits that housefly’s spread disease.

They settle and feed on decaying organic matter sewage, garbage heaps, feeding on animal and human waste, discharges from wounds and sores, carrying this on to the next place they land on our dinner plates. Pathogenic organisms are picked up by flies from garbage, sewage and other sources of filth. Flies regurgitate and excrete wherever they land making them the perfect tool for transmitting disease. Houseflies are suspected of transmitting at least 65 diseases to humans alone. These range from viruses to helminthes. They are known to be involved in the transmission of more diseases to human alone, including typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera, poliomyelitis, yaws, anthrax, leprosy, tuberculosis and conjunctivitis. Infantile diarrhoea and parasitic worms.

 

Farms and livestock.   

The housefly is a universal pest of both farm and home. This species is always found in association with humans or activities of humans. It is also the most common species found on a pig and poultry farms and horse stables. Not only are they a nuisance, but they also can transport disease-causing organisms to spread.  When near humans, they can cause public health problems. Flies commonly develop in large numbers in poultry manure under caged hens, and this is a serious problem needing control.

They feed on secretions from the eyes, nose and small wounds. This distracts the animals from grazing, causing a reduction in growth and productivity. Flies may be small but they are capable of causing untold damage, especially to animals such as cattle, swine and poultry, which are traditionally farmed in large numbers. Also contributing to the cause of Mastitis in cattle.  Globally, flies cause livestock and poultry production losses in the billions of pounds. The Flyslayer can break the breeding cycle and greatly reduce the population of flies.

No CFCs

Extensive use of insecticides has caused many housefly populations to develop resistance to chemicals that formerly killed them. Today it is recognised that chemical insecticides not only harm the environment but also pose a real threat to children, adults and livestock.
The increasing cost of insecticides and a growing public concern about the potential problems associated with insecticides have created increased interest in alternative housefly control .so creating the demand for an environmentally friendly product.

The Flyslayer fits the bill perfectly.

It does exactly what it say’s on the box

It catches flies
(safely, with no harm to the environment.)
