Marsh Farm - open to the public. Managed by Essex County Council. |
| Marsh Farm. The initial need for treatment came from Instakil Pest control who have the pest control contract. Existing fly treatments were only when pens were empty and outside of public visiting hours. |
| The lack of other control measures had meant a build up of flies in the farrowing pens - undesirable for farmer, pigs and public |
| Farrowing pens. 6 separated pens Numbered 1-6 from this view point. No 1 & 6 were empty and cleaned. No 2,3 & 4 were treated. No. 5 was a control |
| Treated cards were hung away from public access - 5 cards per 100m˛ area. Application rate 2g Quick Bayt® per m˛ of floor area. Note the 1m˛ "count section" on the wall. |
| The "warmed" piglet resting areas were very heavily infested-conditions being ideal for fly breeding. Treated direct onto the fabric of the plywood "lid" |
| Same Piglet resting area at the end of the trial, 3 months later, exhibiting the break-down of Quick Bayt® |
