General Information

Larvadex 1% Premix is a premix which, when blended into a poultry ration according to the Directions for Use given below, will control certain fly species which develop in poultry manure. Larvadex 1% Premix is intended for use only in poultry (chickens) layer and breeder operations.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THE LABEL MAY RESULT IN INJURY, POOR FLY CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

Fly control in poultry operations should include appropriate sanitary and management practices to reduce the number and size of fly breeding sites. A successful sanitary and management program may allow less than constant use of insecticides. This, in turn, should prolong the effective life of such control agents.

Eliminating Fly Breeding Sites

Certain conditions around poultry operations encourage flies and should be brought under control or eliminated as an aid to fly control. These include:

● Removing broken eggs and dead birds.

● Cleaning up of feed spills, manure spills, especially if wet.

● Reducing feed spills in the manure pits.

● Reducing moisture in manure in the pits.

● Repairing water leaks that cause wet manure.

● Cleaning out weed-choked water drainage ditches.

● Minimizing sources from other fly-infested animal operations in close proximity to the poultry house.

Determining The Threshold Of Fly Tolerance

Fly pressure can vary depending on farm location, season of the year, and emphasis on sanitation. Newer, controlled environment poultry houses are known to be less susceptible to fly populations re-establishing, once brought under control. Frequency of manure removal and proximity of the farm to neighbors or residential areas will greatly influence the expected degree of fly control. Each farm must determine the level of fly control required and follow an appropriate control program.

Blending And Feeding Larvadex 1% Premix

Housefly, soldier fly, lesser housefly: Mix 1 lb of Larvadex 1% Premix per ton of feed. Feed the treated feed as a daily ration. Begin feeding when adult flies become active and continue treatment as prescribed through the fly season.

Important Note To Feed Mill Operators

Larvadex 1% Premix feed formulators (those mixing as a service to customers) must inform the feed user that treated feed must be removed from layers and breeders at least 3 days before slaughter. The following label statement is suggested for use on treated feed containers: “This poultry feed is formulated with 5.0 ppm (0.01 lb./ton) cyromazine. Treated feed must not be fed to layers and breeders for a minimum of 3 days (72 hrs.) before slaughter for food.”

Larvadex 1% Premix will provide a high degree of fly control and will give best results when integrated with a well-managed fly control program which includes minimization of fly breeding sites, a determination of the degree of fly control desired, a monitoring of adult fly populations in and around the operation; and frequent examinations of manure for maggot activity.

When And How To Use Larvadex 1% Premix

First, monitor adult flies in and near the poultry house. When the population reaches a level to cause concern, use a registered adulticide spray or fog to reduce the breeding potential. Then, examine manure in the pits for maggot activity. If maggots are active, start Larvadex 1% Premix in the ration.

Feed Larvadex 1% Premix continuously as directed for 4 to 6 weeks. Usually, this is enough time for Larvadex 1% Premix to thoroughly cover the droppings and break the fly population cycle in the poultry house.

After a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks of Larvadex 1% Premix feeding, carefully examine the manure pits. If little or no activity is observed in the manure, discontinue Larvadex 1% Premix and continue the sanitary and management program. Continue monitoring the manure pits. If maggots become active again, repeat the procedure.

Use bait, sprays, or fogs as needed during and between Larvadex 1% Premix feeding periods to control any adult flies.

During winter months or during periods of low fly pressure, discontinue Larvadex 1% Premix use for at least 4 consecutive months per year.

Consult with local extension service poultry entomologists or your State Agricultural Experiment station for additional localized fly control suggestions.

Note: Do not feed Larvadex 1% Premix treated feed to broiler poultry. Larvadex 1% Premix use in poultry is limited to use as a feed-through in chicken layer and breeder operations only and may not be fed to any other poultry species.

To avoid illegal residues, Larvadex 1% Premix treated feed must be removed at least 3 days (72 hrs.) before slaughter.

Manure from chickens fed Larvadex 1% Premix may be used as a soil fertilizer supplement. Do not apply more than 3 tons of manure per acre per year. Do not apply to small grain crops that will be harvested or grazed or illegal residues may result. Do not feed manure from chickens fed Larvadex 1% Premix to animals.
