Smarter Fly Management for Modern Barn Systems
In today’s livestock industry, efficiency, animal comfort, and sustainability all depend on one fundamental factor: how well producers manage the waste environment that supports their herds. Whether it’s a deep-pit barn, a slatted-floor confinement system, or an open lagoon, wet organic buildup becomes the perfect breeding ground for flies—one of the most persistent challenges in animal housing.
For decades, operations have relied on spray-and-fog programs to control adult flies. These methods deliver short-term relief but rarely solve the real problem: the breeding zones within the manure itself.
FlyGuard JC-9600/9620, developed by Jenfitch, Inc., introduces a smarter approach to fly management. Instead of coating surfaces with pesticides, FlyGuard works by disrupting the environment where flies lay their eggs. Its proprietary biosurfactant chemistry breaks surface tension within manure and organic matter, preventing larvae from developing and cutting the fly life cycle off at the source.
The result is a cleaner, drier waste surface, fewer adult flies, and a healthier barn environment for both animals and workers.
FlyGuard is easily integrated into existing maintenance routines:
Deep-Pit and Slatted-Floor Barns: Pour or meter directly into pits to control fly larvae where they develop.
Flush Lanes & Lagoons: Apply through pump systems or manual dosing to suppress breeding in wastewater collection zones.
Compost & Manure Storage Areas: Use during turnover to manage fly populations in stored material because FlyGuard is based on a biological surfactant, it is non-toxic, non-residual, and compatible with sustainable animal-care programs.
Improved Herd Health: Reduces stress and disease vectors associated with high fly populations.
Labor Efficiency: Eliminates daily spraying and fogging, freeing staff for higher-value tasks.
Odor Reduction: Decreases anaerobic activity and surface buildup in manure pits.
Sustainability: Supports ESG and animal-welfare goals with safer, biodegradable chemistry.
From advanced calf-feeding automation to deep-pit barn design, technology continues to optimize every corner of livestock production. Yet until now, fly management has remained one of the least efficient and most overlooked components. FlyGuard closes that gap - bringing science-driven, source-level control to modern manure and barn systems.
