Drovers CattleNetwork, an online news service of food360, Vance Publishing Corporation, and Bayer Healthcare announced the launch of the Fly Control Center, an all encompassing, new consumer-oriented website dedicated to fly control.
The Fly Control Center (www.flycontrolcenter.com) is already one of the largest repositories for fly control information on the internet, housing nearly 16,000 documents including news and information on fly species, treatment methods, prevention and the effective and responsible use of insecticides. New information is being added several times per week.
Announcing the Fly Control Center with Cliff Becker, Vice-President, Publishing Director, food360, was Todd Firkins, Livestock Category Manager, Bayer Healthcare, who said, “Fly Control is a multi-million dollar issue affecting livestock and food safety. Flies can cause contamination, spread disease and have a significant impact on individual animal performance. We are excited to be involved in a monumental project like this with a world agricultural news leader like Drovers CattleNetwork.”
Becker said “Drovers Cattlenetwork has long been aware of the management challenges associated with fly control and we are delighted to partner with Bayer Healthcare to bring an important new resource to the cattle industry.”
Firkins, talking about a special added service of the Fly Control Center, said the Fly Control Store gives consumers a convenient way to purchase insecticides, bait blocks, fly and tick sprays and other products. “They can tour the web site to learn more about the science of fly control and immediately take the necessary steps they need to help combat the problem.”
