    Q
    The label says" Common House fly and lesser house fly only" However a couple of questions were answered otherwise...
    Asked by Greg 07/26/2011 Q Is Maxforce fly bait effective for horse flies, the very large flies commonly found on horses? this is regarded as a bait, can it be made into a liquid solution and sprayed directly on the horse? A Maxforce fly bait is labeled for horse flies but when used around barns or horses it should only be used in fly bait stations and not placed where horses or other livestock can access the bait. Maxforce fly spot bait is not labeled to mix with water and be applied directly to horses, however we do have some products that are. While many insecticides are in fact repellent to insects most are not labeled to repel the insects away, they are labeled to kill the insects that come in contact with the application. Sector, Permethrin SFR, Tengard and Riptide are all labeled to be applied to horses and various other farm animals for a wide variety of insects. Please carefully read and follow the label instructions when making the application to the horses. Asked by Diane 07/22/2013 Q Trying to get rid of 1"-2" black horse flies and green head flies.

    Maxforce Granular Fly Bait can be mixed with water to create a paste that is used for paint-on application, per the product label. However, this product is not water-soluble to create a spray. If you are wanting to create a solution, then we recommend Maxforce Fly Spot Bait instead.

    Q
    Can Maxforce Granular Fly Bait be sprayed or the granules be directly applied to grass?
    I have some kind of an infection in my grass. Its like a sheet of flys across my entire lawn
    A

    Maxforce Granular Fly Bait cannot be used openly in lawn areas, only in and around exterior perimeter of the structure as a scatter bait or in fly bat stations. We would recommend contacting the Cooperative Extension Office for help with identifying the cause of the flies whether it’s decaying matter or disease in the lawn.

  • Asked by David
    04/28/2023
    Q
    Would it be toxic to a chicken who ate a fly killed by this?
    A

    The chance of any secondary poisoning from Maxforce Granular Fly Bait to your chickens is extremely unlikely as the poison once ingested by the fly is only going to be a toxicity level to something the size of a fly. The only problem you would have is if the chickens were to consume the bait directly to avoid this we would recommend using it in stations.

  • Asked by Joanne from San Leandro,california
    04/22/2024
    Q
    I want to use this station and bait around my chickens. Where do the flies end up and are they then safe in CA?
    A

    If you're using Maxforce Granular Fly Bait in a FBS-1 Fly Bait Station, the flies will die within approximately 60 seconds. Some may fly out of the station while some could die inside the bait station. We recommend placing the station away from food and water sources and in an area where they can easily be monitored and cleaned. Maxforce Granular Fly Bait can be shipped to, and used in California.
