is a company that specializes in fly control.
Fly Busters Australia specializes in advanced fly control solutions. Our innovative system, backed by years of successful use, stems from international studies and extensive research aimed at combating filth flies. With over three decades of experience managing farms and stables, we have honed our techniques to effectively minimize fly populations while prioritizing environmental stewardship. Our primary goal is to achieve maximum eco-friendliness without causing disruptive disturbances to the environment. This approach ensures the health and well-being of both humans and animals, maintaining a harmonious balance in our ecosystems. .
THE BAIT
Our system revolves around an efficient bait designed to attract flies, composed of fermented yeasts and additives approved for use in the food industry. This boutique mix of raw materials undergoes rigorous laboratory testing and meets the highest compliance standards in the food industry. It contains no animal source proteins or insecticides of any kind, ensuring its safety for humans, animals, and the environment. Through a specialized production technique, we have formulated the bait in powdered form, which matures over 24-48 hours ounce mixed with water to become ready-to-use and effective in our custom-designed traps. Available in three convenient sizes—15kg, 250g, and 50g—all packaged in airtight containers, the powdered bait maintains its efficacy when stored under appropriate conditions, with a shelf life exceeding two years. By opting for our natural biocide bait, you not only mitigate environmental impact but also address health concerns in the most sustainable manner possible..
THE TRAP
Our innovative trap features a plastic container equipped with a lid and specially designed 'one-way' openings. These openings are paired with patented netted cones that prevent flies from escaping once they are lured in by the bait. Simply pour the bait into the container and add water at a ratio of 1 liter per 50g of bait for optimal results. This design ensures effective fly capture without the risk of escape, maximizing the trap's efficiency in controlling fly populations.
The trap works best with our Original Bait.
Fly Problems
Musca domestica, commonly known as the housefly, is ubiquitous worldwide and among the many filth flies known to carry over 100 pathogens, posing risks to both humans and animals. Houseflies transmit helminthic eggs, protozoan cysts and trophozoites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses through mechanical means, such as regurgitation or excreta. They thrive in close proximity to humans and domestic animals, frequently found in areas of human activity like restaurants, hospitals, food centers, markets, and slaughterhouses. As mechanical vectors of various pathogens, including parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, houseflies necessitate comprehensive control and prevention measures to mitigate disease transmission to humans and animals. In high-risk environments, strategies like health education, rigorous environmental sanitation, and personal hygiene practices are crucial. At Fly Busters Australia, we combat fly infestations using a unique, environmentally friendly bait to attract flies into our innovative range of traps. Our approach emphasizes capturing flies without the use of toxins or animal protein-based attractants. Female flies are lured to lay their eggs within the trap, effectively interrupting their life cycle and reducing population growth.
Economic Impact of Filth Flies on Livestock
Filth flies pose significant financial costs to livestock operations in various ways:
Dairy Cattle, During the fly season, dairy cattle experience decreased feed efficiency and a decline in daily milk production rates, impacting overall production efficiency.
Mortality rates in newly born stock, with minimized immunity levels increase, and general short term and long-term profitability is compromised. These include horn and face flies, deer and horse flies, stable flies, heel flies, and house flies
Beef cattle Stable flies, particularly from the family Diptera: Muscidae, reduce feed efficiency and daily growth rates. Calves are also vulnerable to increased mortality rates.
Horses Face flies, house flies, stable flies, and horse flies disturb horses, affecting their breeding habits and overall demeanor. These flies bite around sensitive areas like tear ducts, noses, and wounds, causing discomfort and potential health issues.
Chickens, Flies pose not only annoyance but also health risks to chickens. Houseflies can transmit tapeworms, while consuming green bottlefly larvae can lead to botulism, impacting chicken health and productivity..
Pigs Stable flies, like Stomoxys calcitrans, transmit diseases such as PCV2 and Mycoplasma. Although not typical filth flies, they breed in moist, decaying matter, including animal manure, making them a target for control.
Targeting the Problem:
All these flies breed in decaying organic material, particularly moist animal manure, which is crucial to their life cycle. Our natural biocidal solution targets this phase effectively.
Our Solution: Utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a naturally occurring strain, our bait matures and ferments upon adding water, emitting an odor similar to manure. Rich in protein, the bait attracts and harvests dead flies in the trap, encouraging female flies to lay eggs within it. This breaks the fly population cycle effectively.
Trap Effectiveness: Our traps not only capture flies but also interrupt their life cycle by enticing egg-laying inside the trap, thereby halting reproduction and reducing the overall fly population.
Other applications
Our bait and trap have many other beneficial and safe uses that extend beyond traditional applications. As previously mentioned, our bait is toxin-free and does not contain any animal-derived proteins, which can often be carriers of foreign pathogens. Animal proteins such as fish or chicken meal, eggshell meal, or other sources can introduce foreign pathogens when rehydrated, potentially causing environmental contamination and increasing infection risks. This necessitates the development of new antibodies in both humans and animals each time these pathogens are introduced. Our bait, free from animal-derived proteins, eliminates the risk of introducing foreign pathogens, thereby safeguarding human and animal environments. Our traps can be safely used in various settings, including gardens, industrial areas, hospitals, and recycling facilities. They effectively control fly populations without the need to introduce toxins or foreign pathogens into these environments.
