Inhibition of House Flies and Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) in Field-Spread Dairy Bedding from Cattle Treated with Diflubenzuron Boluses

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Soiled bedding (straw mixed with urine and feces) was removed from two pens housing dairy heifers and spread in windrows in two fields. Each heifer in one of the pens was administered a diflubenzuron bolus, whereas heifers in the other pen were not treated. House flies, Musca domestica L., and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), emerging from the spread bedding were captured in emergence traps and on sticky traps. More house flies and stable flies emerged from the untreated bedding than from the treated bedding; most emergence occurred the second week after spreading.
