Flies are a persistent issue in confinement settings, affecting animal comfort, milk production, and overall health. This webinar will cover the identification and management of key filth fly species, including house and stable flies. Learn how to integrate sanitation, mechanical and biological controls, and targeted pesticide use for long-term fly management in dairy and beef confinement facilities.

The webinar will be presented by Ken Wise. He is the Dairy and Livestock Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Coordinator and Associate Director of Agricultural IPM with the Cornell Integrated Pest Management Program. He leads statewide efforts to research, develop, and evaluate IPM strategies for managing flies, ticks, and other livestock pests.
