Horn flies on Iowa cattle can be controlled by spraying
Horn flies have begun their work on Iowa cattle causing irritations and reduced milk flow. Ex extension entomologist Earle Raun notes two control methods: spray cattle with residual insecticides every two weeks or daily with activated pyrethrin, using DDT for beef cattle or methoxychlor for dairy cows. A chain treater method using a burlap coated line provides self-treatment, saturating the cloth with DDT or methoxychlor solution and reapplying biweekly.
