Control DDT Spraying Tames Barn Flies, Iowa Expert Says
Iowa State College entomologist Harold Gunderson urges using DDT to spray barns and livestock to kill flies. A typical Iowa farm may need 4 to 6 pounds of 50 percent wettable DDT for a full outbuilding and livestock spray once, with a possible second application later totaling 8 to 12 pounds. For every 10 head of livestock, about 5 pounds of DDT powder per season is recommended. If barns are well lit and well sprayed, flies that enter may die quickly.
