Understanding both the life cycles and habits of the most common pesky/filth flies is the first step in solving these pestiferous problems. In this program, pest management professionals will learn about the most common pesky/filth flies and innovative methods for their management. Basic sanitation and how a lack thereof can lead to an infestation of pesky/filth flies (and other pests).Differences in BL/FUVA lamp types, how FUVA Lamps attract these flying pests and how proper v. improper deployment affect efficacy of a fly control program in various settings/accounts.
