Dismiss the Myths: Fly Control on Equine Facilities will review essential identification and biology of the major filth fly pests found in horse facilities; stable flies, house flies, horn flies, and face flies, as well as briefly discuss other biting fly pests like horse flies and mosquitoes. Most horse owners are familiar with this sight—your horse standing in the stall or field, tail twisting, withers twitching, head swinging around to remove a biting pest fly, or shaking to dislodge flies attacking eyes, nose, or lips. Fly pests on equine facilities are common, especially during warmer spring and summer months, and while there is a range of control options available, it isn't always easy to determine what the most effective and safe methods may be.
