Cluster fly invasion prompts winter nuisance and control
In Burlington as cold weather nears, large swarms of cluster flies appear around homes. They pose no health risk but are a nuisance all winter. Prevention includes caulking cracks, spraying under eaves and around windows, and using residual sprays such as Ronnel Korlan Methoxychlor or Rabon. Inside, aerosols with pyrethrins help on contact, and DDVP resin strips suit unused spaces. For details request leaflet No. 11 from the University of Vermont.
