Recommend Backrubber For Fly Control In Maryland
Extension entomologists propose a backrubber device to control horn and face flies on cattle. Made from burlap wrapped cable between two supports, it delivers insecticide as cattle rub against it. Materials include chain or strong material burlap baling twine and two sturdy posts. An oil insecticide mix of No 2 diesel fuel and 20 weight motor oil with 1 percent Ciodrin is advised, with Malathion or methoxychlor for horn flies. The device should be placed where cattle gather and periodically re-saturated to stay effective.
