Your Strongest Defense Against Fly Resistance
When it comes to managing fly populations around agricultural, commercial, and residential sites, one-size-fits-all solutions just don’t cut it. That’s where strategic bait rotation comes in, and it’s why Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait and DuraStrike® Fly Scatter Bait from Starbar® are valuable tools in your resistance-fighting lineup.
Why Rotate Fly Baits?
Flies are notorious for adapting quickly, and repeated exposure to the same mode of action can lead to resistance. But when baits with different modes of action are intentionally rotated and used consistently, you get:
- Decreased fly populations
- Slower resistance development
- Stronger fly control over time
If baits are rotated and used consistently throughout the fly season, it helps ensure flies do not develop a resistance to any singular bait or mode of action.
Starbar® offers a variety of fly baits designed to work together in a comprehensive resistance management plan. Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait and DuraStrike® Fly Scatter Bait can be used in rotation with other proven Starbar® solutions, such as QuikStrike® Fly Bait, to help maintain control and extend product effectiveness across fly seasons.
Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait
A standout among granular fly baits, Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait brings a unique active ingredient to the table: cyantraniliprole. This Group 28 insecticide targets the ryanodine receptors in flies, causing paralysis and death through a mode of action not seen in most other baits.
Key Features:
- Controls house flies both indoors (in bait stations) and outdoors in high-density fly areas
- Low bulk density means more treated area per pail and easier storage
- No odor or dusting during application
- Can also be applied as a water-diluted paint-on
- Available in 4 lb. and 28 lb. sizes
Ideal for use in livestock barns, stables, poultry houses, and swine facilities, Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait is a perfect rotational partner to maintain the integrity of your integrated pest management program.
DuraStrike® Fly Scatter Bait
DuraStrike® Fly Scatter Bait adds another tool to your fly control arsenal with a completely different mode of action. Its active ingredient, indoxacarb, helps kill house flies, fruit flies, and even blow flies indoors, offering broad-spectrum control for high-risk environments.
Top Benefits:
- Versatile application: use as a scatter bait, in refillable bait stations, or as a water-diluted paint-on
- Controls flies in and around dairies, poultry houses, kennels, food processing plants, and more
- Available in 1 lb. cans and 28 lb. buckets for operations of any size
- A smart resistance-management option to pair with Cyanarox™ Insecticidal Bait
Smarter Rotation = Stronger Results
Incorporating a variety of baits like Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait, DuraStrike® Fly Scatter Bait, and QuikStrike® Fly Bait into your rotational schedule ensures flies aren’t exposed to just one type of control, reducing the chance of resistance and increasing overall success.
