Face Fly Invades Maine Cattle Pasture This Summer
Extension dairyman Ralph A. Corbett of the University of Maine reports a new insect pest named the face fly that bothers cattle, lowers milk yield, and causes weight loss. These flies resemble house flies but are larger and shinier, cluster on bodies, feed on saliva, and bite wounds. They are most troublesome on sunny pasture days. wipes–on repellents are fairly effective if applied daily at morning milking with a half ounce per cow.
