Using Fly Tape To Control Livestock Flies

- Got flies? Flies are drawn to many things one of which is livestock. This fly tape is very effective at dropping the fly population over a period of time. Learn how I use the tape in our rotational grazing operation to control fly populations naturally. Works great for face flies!

Hello folks, My name is Jason Chrisman, I manage grass fed cattle, pastured poultry and keep bees which I sell. We lease organic farm land for the cattle and poultry to graze in a rotational formation. I've learned a lot to this point and want to share the knowledge I've gained, so please subscribe and feel free to comment or ask questions. Check out my beekeeping channel here: / jasonchrismanbees

I did a quick google and came across this on the Terminix site:
The life cycle of a fly begins with the egg. The female house fly can lay anywhere from 75 to 150 eggs in a batch. She can lay an estimated five or six batches of eggs during her lifetime, starting on average, about 12 days after reaching full maturity.
So at a max each fly can lay 900 larva in its life cycle.
If you trap 10,000 flys that’s 9,000,000 flies you prevented hatching!
@Turkey Hollow Farm Thanks for sharing the information. That sure is a lot of flies when you break it down like that. I know it's easy to use and works well.
Grazing Acres Farm - try leaving 1 in the Just Grazed fields - where the Flies Breed in the Fresh cow Patties ?!
Grazing Acres Farm - Add Tree Shallow nest boxes, they love these flies. Same as a BlueBird box - a 1 3/8” opening Shallows and 6’ - 7’ high. On pole -metal electrical conduit, cheaper than metal fencing. 10’ pole pounded 3’ +/- into ground.
This is so satisfying to watch. If it was me, I would have several barrels scattered all over my land, and install posts with bird houses on them to attract more fly killers.
And I'd burn the flypaper once it was covered enough that you can't see any yellow to make sure they don't just escape at some landfill.
Spread chicken feed on cow patties and let the chickens eat the fly larvae. It works Great!
Great ideas with the fly traps, amazing results!
I put the tape on the cows.
No, really? How do they respond? lol
@@GrazingAcresFarm Yes, l put a small piece on their forehead to help keep the flies off their eyes, and a larger piece on their back. They don't seem to mind it.
@Brad Jenkins I have a few that would probably allow to me to do that but others there is no way. lol
lol i thought you were joking
@@akureshakni Why would l be joking?
That is pretty cool man, love the whole trailer and four wheeler setup along with the portable water system too! I'm seriously contemplating running water lines to our pastures, but I'd need to get a large storage tank and a pump first as our well is lower elevation than most of the pastures and can't pump it out that far by itself.
Thanks! I have been customizing my atv for grazing since I got it a couple years back. It's such a huge time saver. Same with the water sled. When you do this stuff every single day, you start looking where your spending the most time and fixing the issues behind them. The water used to be a pain in the butt to move along with all the water hose.
The land owner used a program that installed all the water spigots on this farm. There is something like 28 water spigots total on 176 acres. Most pastures have 2-3 each but some only have one. I should do a video on the water setup so you can see it.
I ordered some from Jeffers supply because of your video, good idea, thanks.
Great! I think you'll be impressed. Tractor Supply and Rural King also carry this tape.
Great idea!
works great for my horse barn, reduces the fly population a quite a bit. CATCHES thousands of flies per day.
Greg Judy just did a video about a fly paper trap too! His was slightly different, I'll have to check this one out too!
I just bought some of these for my kennel set up wonder will it work I’ll know tomorrow
Nice one.....I guess keeping a couple of ducks on the farm helps control flies too.
Looks like it works good. I've been buying raid fly traps at tsc. Their a bag style that has an attractant in it and it works great I've got it hanging on a tree limb close to the feed tray were I feed my steer. Thanks for the video
Tractor Supply And Rural King both carry this tape for around $10 a roll, you should try it!
@@GrazingAcresFarm Yeah I seen it at tsc. I think I will get a roll it looks like it works really good. Is the back of it sticky
@Cornbread & Bees No. The back is just wax paper. That why I wrap the barrel and stick it back to the other end.
Wow this is the first time I have heard about this lol .. I could have use this for multiple occasions
As you seen it works very well. Usually within minutes you will see fly getting stuck.
Hey I try some tape from the uk and found they didn’t stick well vertically but done a strip so they had to land on it and it worked well
You need to get some feee range chickens to follow 3-5 days behind the heard paddock to paddock.. they will eat the fly larva by scratching out the droppings. This will also speed up recertification if the paddock.
Cows, chickens and goats are meant to work with one another when free range.. you’re a good 5-10k chickens behind based off your heard size though lol..
Awesome info! Thank you! One day I'll have a big farm... If not this life, in heaven! Lol...🤔Wait... 😳Think there'll be flies in heaven? 😲😏🌼🌱🌿🤣🌱🌿🌼
I'd say you're all set for fly fishing! 😆🎣
Tree Shallows eat tons of biting flies, space nest boxes 100’ apart.
They are very territorial.
long term fix to break the fly cycle is chickens btw. lots of young farmers looking for a job/land.
I need some of that
That's a brilliant alternative to using chickens!
That big black fly is affectionately referred to as a B-52 around here
I figured they might knock it over
can you throw the tape to your chickens when filled?
@Greg Kifer I haven't tried that but possible. It would surely be worth trying. May even be funny to watch if the hens become stuck! lol
So if you catch 1,000 flies, there are still 1,000 million flies left... 🤣
*1 billion 😂
I have this paper and love it. Everyone on earth should buy a few roles. Imagine a world without these pests? I can dream can't I? Let me see now...how can I modify this to capture mosquitoes? Hmm...maybe put something that emits carbon dioxide out the sides of the barrel and a smelly sock inside.
Can ya feed that to the chickens?
Not sure but that sounds fun to watch! lol (I see chickens getting paper stuck to them)
A product name and description please..
They're giant fly glue traps made by CatchMaster.👍

@@GrazingAcresFarm Thanks
Maybe you'll buy some fake flys during Halloween season and stick one to the new tape kick it off on catching flys.
I had fly tape due to barn swallow nests...I caught the barn swallows..I'll never use fly tape again. Never ever.
All thumbs down.👎
If you have barn swallows why add fly tape to begin with? The fly tapes works great when used around livestock but I understand not wanting to harm the birds. I had a wren get stuck to the tape so I know what you went through, luckily I was able to free her.
