Dairy Farms
While dairy operations will never be completely free of flying insects, untreated fly infestations can lead to reduced dairy profitability. The negative effects of flies can cost an operation more in damages than the cost to effectively treat flies on a dairy property.

Our custom-installed automatic flying insect control systems are safe for livestock animals and come with a 15-year warranty. Our licensed experts will work with you to get a complete picture of your facilities and make recommendations that best suit your needs.
Flying Insect Prevention for Dairy Farms
Fly Guard’s FG96 automatic, overhead spray system is typically recommended on dairies.
FG96 is ideal for:
- Calf Barns
- Freestall Barns
- Holding Areas
- Residential
- Additional Applications
The FG96 is an automatic, overhead spray system that emits a pyrethrum-based solution that kills and repels flies and other flying insects. Pyrethrum is a powerful botanical insecticide produced primarily in the flower of a plant from the chrysanthemum family. Pyrethrum has been used for centuries to control a broad range of insects, including flies and mosquitos. Pyrethrum is non-persistent and dissipates quickly when sprayed.
The FG96 is completely automatic and programed to activate periodically throughout the day. Continuing to kill insects even while you are away.
FG96’s versatility allows the overhead lines & nozzles to be attached to any type of roof line, supported by professionally installed cables, or even trenched in between buildings to spray detached pens or other structures.
Tempo Ultra WP:
If additional control is required in trouble areas, Fly Guard recommends Tempo Ultra WP. It is a residual pyrethroid powder that is mixed with water and dispensed using a handheld or backpack sprayer. Tempo’s residual properties remain effective for several weeks after spraying.
