Materials were applied to the interior and exterior surfaces of 8 livestock barns located on the University of Missouri South Farm. A proximate, untreated barn served as control. All treatments were applied at the rate of 0.09 Iiter/m2 (1 gal/450 ft2) using a power sprayer delivering 1034 kPa (150 lb/in2). Fly populations were monitored prior to and at regular intervals post-treatment via a 0.25 m2 Scudder fly grill. Five 30 sec grid counts were taken at each observation in all locations.
