Face Flies New to State Tough to Control
Face flies are new to Minnesota and resist barnyard sanitation and fogs. Entomologist John Lofgren advises face bait or spray using 1 percent dichlorvos or Diocrin mixtures applied daily to the animal’s face. Mixes require daily preparation and can be used on horses. back rubbers with toxaphone offer some control for cattle and dairy heifers, with deep shade helping. Further guidance appears in University of Minnesota Extension Fact Sheet Entomology 25.
