Stay One Step Ahead of Flies.
Flies are more than a nuisance — they affect cow comfort, health, and performance. The ShieldStrong® Automated Fly Spray System helps keep flies under control where it matters most: on the cow. On-animal fly control is a key part of a strong integrated pest management (IPM) program.
The challenge is timing. Fly pressure may already be hurting performance by the time flies are easy to see or cows start acting differently.
Fly pressure often shows up as:
- Cows bunching together
- More foot stomping
- Constant tail swishing
- Skin twitching and irritation
These signs can lead to real problems, including:
- Lost milk production
- Higher mastitis risk
- Less time lying down
- Reduced overall cow comfort
Geography, weather patterns, and individual farm management practices can all impact fly pressure. Proactive mitigation efforts — before fly pressure peaks — is key to supporting optimal cow comfort and performance.
The ShieldStrong Fly Pressure Forecast Tool helps you stay ahead by estimating your risk of increasing fly pressure. Using a Fly Risk Score, the tool shows when pressure is expected to rise and peak during the next 30 days. With this insight, you can confidently plan when to spray cows and monitor for early signs of fly-related stress.
