Real Results: What Ranchers Are Saying About QuikStrike® Fly Bait
Fly resistance is one of the biggest challenges for livestock producers. Over time, flies can adapt to an active ingredient or Mode of Action, making baits less effective. That’s why Starbar® is dedicated to educating producers on the importance of bait rotation by using fly baits with different active ingredients as well as Mode of Actions throughout the season to maintain control and prevent resistance.
As part of this initiative, Starbar® launched a Bait Rotation Trial Program, starting with QuikStrike® Fly Bait. The goal? To give real producers the chance to experience the benefits of Starbar® products firsthand and share their honest feedback.
Participants received a sample of QuikStrike® Fly Bait to use on their operations over a two-week period. Here’s what they had to say:
“This product works so well—I’m sticking with it from now on! I’m thrilled with how quickly it kills and controls flies.”
— John Horgan
“I left for the state fair worried about a fly outbreak, but when I returned days later, the flies were completely under control—what a relief!”
— Alise Allan
“Starbar products are our go-to every spring through fall. They deliver reliable fly control without the obnoxious odors of other brands. I even recommend them to fellow livestock raisers!”
— Kim Holt
“QuikStrike is so easy to use and it really works! I’d recommend it to anyone dealing with flies.”
— Adam Stetter
“QuikStrike works wonders when fly populations get out of control. It’s always our go-to solution!”
— Leslie Barnhill
“QuikStrike Fly Bait exceeded my expectations. It’s easy to use, simple to set up, and delivers fast results!”
— Lesley Estrada Chen
Across participants, several key benefits stood out:
- Fast and noticeable results in fly reduction
- Ease of application — simple scatter bait that fits into existing routines
- Reliable control even in challenging or high-pressure situations
- Versatility — producers utilized multiple application types to apply the bait for maximum impact
Why Bait Rotation Matters
The QuikStrike® Fly Bait trial is just the first phase of the Bait Rotation Trial Program. Future phases will introduce additional products to demonstrate how rotating different active ingredients and Modes of Action can extend product life and keep fly populations in check.
By rotating baits throughout the season, producers can:
- Prevent flies from developing resistance to a single product
- Maintain control across changing fly populations
- Support a stronger overall IPM strategy
