Effective fly control is essential for all livestock operations. Beyond just being an irritation, flies can spread disease, reduce animal comfort and negatively impact overall performance. That's why Elanco’s experts recommend a control system that defends your operation. 

Building a strong foundation
Elanco’s bioprotection portfolio is designed to support Integrated Pest Management (IPM) across all livestock operations. With the addition of combining sanitation, monitoring and rotation of chemical classes, producers can reduce insect-borne threats. Flies adapt quickly and reproduce rapidly — normally the female house fly lays 75–150 eggs at a time1 — making early intervention critical to maintaining control and safeguarding animal health.

Ensure season-long success with rotation
Insecticide remains a key pillar of IPM, but season-long success depends on rotating products across different chemical classes. When products are used repeatedly, flies are exposed to the same mode of action over and over, which increases the risk of resistance developing over time. Rotating products helps change that, making it harder for flies to adapt. 

Elanco’s solution
Elanco’s portfolio supports effective rotation with bait, spray and pour-on solutions, giving you the flexibility to target flies at multiple life stages and across environments. Their full system, which contains fly control products suitable for various livestock and their facilities (cattle, horses, swine, poultry, goats and sheep), includes:
-    Agita® Fly Bait: Insecticidal attractant scatter bait for controlling house flies on your operation
-    Agita® 10 WG: Dual mode of action spray to control house flies and darkling beetles
-    Debantic® 50 WP: Wettable powder concentrate insecticide effective against a wide variety of pests 
-    CyLence® Pour-On: Delivers convenient, no-milk-withdrawal fly control in a pour-on solution for cattle, sheep lice and keds.
