Defend your swine operation at every point.House flies, mosquitoes and roaches can all wreak havoc on the productivity of your swine operation. They can transmit disease, destroy property and disrupt feeding — and pigs that aren’t eating aren’t growing.
The Defense Point System can provide you with a specific strategy for effective pest control that covers your entire operation. The system works by dividing your operation into four key treatment areas where pests thrive, and identifying the Bayer products best suited to those conditions.

FEED-THROUGH
Your animals are ground zero for pest damage. Many pests spend the majority of their life cycle on swine and take blood meals several times a day. An infected pest can also transmit disease, which can lead to serious loss of productivity.
Where your pigs eat, sleep and farrow are prime locations for pests to pass from one animal to another. Treating your facilities may aid in stopping the spread of pests among your livestock.
Pests may use the areas beyond the immediate housing facilities to breed and replenish their numbers. Treating potential pest breeding areas that surround your livestock buildings may play a significant role in reducing the pest population. Grassy areas surrounding lagoons and feed spillage areas are examples.
Flies flourish on the natural actions of swine, both feeding and laying their eggs directly in manure. With the use of an oral larvicide, you can take a proactive effort toward disrupting the fly’s life cycle.
Rotate your pest control to help bolster your defenses. Pests can develop reduced susceptibility to an active ingredient over time. To help prevent this, consider rotating to a product that utilizes a different mode of action (MOA).
The products in this brochure are color-coded by MOA. When it’s time to rotate, identify which MOA your current product uses, then rotate to a product with a different MOA.
Pyrethroidsare sodium channel modulators — they disrupt the normal flow of sodium ions.
Organophosphates are cholinesterase inhibitors — they prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine.
Neonicotinoids are acetylcholine receptor agonists — they mimic the action of acetylcholine.

FLY Control Program
Fly control is essential for swine. House flies can cause discomfort and increased disease susceptibility in swine.1 They are also a nuisance to both your herd and your workers.
House flies breed in manure piles and other moist, warm, decaying organic matter. They are a special concern for producers not only because of the impact they have on productivity, but also the potential impact they can have on public health, a problem that can result in possible legal action.1

Mosquitoes and cockroaches pose unique problems for swine producers. Not only are mosquitoes a significant source of irritation and discomfort for both animals and humans, the welts left by their bites can also increase carcass trim from $5 – $10 per head.2 Both of these pests spread disease in and around swine facilities.

TARGET: Pests that want to take a blood meal from your livestock
TARGET: Pests in the areas where your swine are vulnerable as they sleep and get shelter
TARGET: Pests in the areas around your facilities, multiplying their numbers by breeding
TARGET: Pests where they lay their eggs, as well as those eggs and larvae before they can mature and continue the cycle
