New! USDA Organic - EPA Approved balEnce™ Biological Fly Bait/Biopesticide The Safe, Natural and Effective Solution to Your Fly Problems

Easton, CT (PRWEB) June 17, 2009

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Program has approved for equine use balEnce™ biopesticide. This a naturally occurring, environmentally friendly fungus (Beauveria bassiana) that specifically targets flies, has no harsh chemicals and is safe for humans, animals and beneficial insects. This means that it kills flies but is harmless to horses, people, pets and the environment.

The necessity for fly control in the barn is inevitable. If you look in any equine supply catalog, you could find 10 pages of fly control products alone. The number of flies produced by one pair of adults and their offspring in thirty days is a staggering figure in the millions. The bite of a blood-sucking fly is painful. That's why fly prevention is the most important line of defense in the war against flies.

balEnce™ is a selective entomopathogen fungus, Beauveria bassiana that infects adult flies but is safe for beneficial species, humans, poultry and the environment. Fungus spores are picked up by the fly, the spores germinate and enter the fly's body. The fly will become infected with fungus, become sick and die. While it is sick, the fly will not reproduce. This process normally requires three to five days. After 3 to 4 weeks, the fly reproductive cycle will be broken and there will be a significant decrease in the fly population!

Targeted flies include the common housefly as well as horn flies, fruit flies, face flies, stable flies, black garbage flies and blowflies, among others. This particular strain of Beauveria bassiana will infect and kill all the flies in this specific family of flies but will not harm other beneficial insects (parasitic wasps, carcinops and earwigs), animals (poultry, horses, swine, cattle), humans or the environment.

balEnceTM Biopesticide Spray and Bait have been EPA approved and available for sale to the poultry market for years. Many of the largest poultry operations in both the United States and Canada are currently using balEnceTM products to control flies.

Now horse lovers can also prevent flies from breeding in their barns with this field tested, naturally occurring, environmentally friendly fungus (Beauveria bassiana) that specifically targets flies, with no harsh chemicals that is safe for humans, animals and beneficial insects.
