DDT Spray Guidelines for Farm Fly Control
Agricultural expert Petty outlines DDT formulations for treating 1000 square feet with 3 gallons of water, estimating 10 to 15 pounds of powder per farm surface and costs from 6 to 12 dollars. He notes 50% water wettable powder is best, with 25% emulsifiable concentrates or 5% oil solutions as alternatives and warns of fire hazards on unpainted wood. He also differentiates flies and recommends weekly cattle spraying for dairy and monthly spraying for beef, plus exterior roost-area spraying to boost effectiveness.
