Dropping Like Flies

Product Spotlight: Maxforce Flyspot

To put it simple, this product flat out works. Humans are similar to insects in that when the weather warms up, we become more active. Winter weather and temperatures keep us inside most days, but as soon as the first bit of springtime shows up were ready to be free from our indoor prisons. Likewise, all matters of insects begin making their way out into the world to do what they do best, bother us. Some insects can cause damage to our property, others for the most part go unnoticed just trying to live their lives, and yet there is a third kind. This kind of insect prides itself on bothering humans. It could be anything from a cockroach scurrying across the floor to an ant crawling around on the kitchen counter. But my personal insect that I have grown to detest is the fly. This nuisance pest seems to take joy in landing on you just long enough to bother then take off and disappear just before your hand lands on his hand. And after he is done with that, he might decide just to stop by your hot dog on a sunny afternoon as you have your back turned from the table. Yes, the fly seems to be indestructible. They must have at least a million eyes looking at every direction possible because you can never seem to hit them. I have not yet mastered the art of catching a fly in mid air. Fortunately there is a solution that does not require lightning fast hand. No, the only equipment necessary Maxforce Flyspot is a spray bottle.

            Over the years, granular baits for flies have proven themselves effective. Best used around doors to restaurant kitchens or near dumpsters, fly baits can also be used in and around homes as well. But if you are looking for something a little easier that will go unnoticed yet still have the flies falling to your feet, then this spray on product is something you should consider. Maxforce Flyspot contains Imidacloprid which is a rapid killing insecticide. For residential homes it is labeled for outdoor use, such as patios. Each 2 oz. packet is designed to be mixed with 16 oz. of water. Then, just spray spots sporadically on the walls and other surfaces around your patio. Fly Spot is a sugar based product with a highly attractive pheromone that is easily sought out by flies. When it dries, the spot will not be noticeable; except to the flies of course. Once a fly lands on the bait and feeds on it, the insect will have approximately 60 seconds before it takes a final fall. So yes, the term “dropping like flies” is an accurate description when discussing this product by Bayer. This is the same manufacturer of the Bayer Aspirin which I would venture to guess most have heard of. So before you have friends and family over for a barbeque this spring, take a packet of this product and make some applications around your patio and you will be pleasantly surprised when the flies before this bait over your hot dog
