Maximize Fly Control with the Starbar® Line of Traps
Andrea Bolduc and Kenley Zuga of Central Life Sciences know that different fly problems within an operation call for different methods of fly control.
“To determine which Starbar trap is the best trap for a particular situation or environment, you first have to determine which fly species we’re dealing with and also which location you’re going to be applying that trap in,” Andrea explains.
Explore Precise Fly Control Rooted in Specific Insect Behaviors
Traps Established for Different Heights
While some flies feed near the ground at lower levels, others circulate up in the cooler regions of barns, stables and other higher parts of your operation. Starbar offers a lineup of unique traps for any level of reach and possible fly resting location. While the long, slim Fly Stik™ fly traps give flies a larger landing spot near ceilings, attics and rafters, the QuikStrike® II Fly Abatement Strip is designed to be placed closer to the ground, drawing in and killing flies just minutes after they feed.
By targeting specific regions, it becomes clearer where problem areas lie and to possibly shift which locations within the operation require the greatest focus on insect control.
“I think that by applying these traps, you’re able to see where the heavy fly populations are, and then you can choose which trap will do the best job for what you need done,” Andrea says.
Starbar® Traps Attract a Variety of Fly Species
Starbar® Traps are also designed around the specific behaviors of flies to provide optimal courses of action for each species. Sticky traps or odor and pheromone traps will attract the majority of fly species. Sticky traps work passively, drawing in flies due to placement and color, while odor and pheromone traps attract flies away from spaces in operations where they usually rest, toward perimeter areas. Then there’s the Bite Free™ Stable Fly Trap, which is a direct response to stable flies that bite the legs of livestock and cause stress and discomfort. The trap draws in this species of fly through its shimmering surface and can trap more than 8,000 flies.
Same Hardworking Fly Control with an All-New Look
Choosing the right trap type and placement can keep an operation fly-free all season long.
In addition to delivering hardworking fly solutions you can trust, we’re also excited to unveil a brand-new package that takes the Starbar legacy into a new era of fly control.
“Any of your local farm and feed stores, hardware stores carry them. They’re very easy to find” says Kenley, referring to the new look.
