SINGLE INSECTICIDE APPLICATION
CONTROLS FLIES UP TO 2 MONTHS
Few livestock producers realize the importance of controlling
flies on their premises. In addition to spreading many diseases,
these annoying pests can seriously hamper efficient weight gains
and milk production. . '' .
Now, many livestockmen throughout the country report excep-
tional long-lasting control of flies with a unique new insecticide,
known as Cygon. .....
Beginning the day after application, Cygon eliminates these
pests continuously for up to 8 weeks or longer. Thus, as little M
two applications can provide protection against these insects for
an entire season. By saving labor normally devoted to more
frequent repeat applications of other insecticides, this material
significantly reduces the overall cost of a fly control program.
Even species of flies which have developed resistance to other
insecticides are effectively controlled, according to research
studies and field use on commercial farms.
Thus, an ever-increasing number of authorities are recom-
mending use of the new long-lasting insecticide around feed lota
and corrals, in dairy bams, hog pens and poultry house*—in
fact, wherever flies tend to breed and gather.
