Marsh Farm Testimonial Essex

Marsh Farm - open to the public. Managed by Essex County Council.
Pig Unit Manager Mr. Graham Godfrey

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 100m² area.
Application rate 2g Quick Bayt® per m² of floor area. Note the 1m² "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"
