Quick answer
Apply Agita Fly Bait in areas where flies are most active, such as near garbage bins or compost piles, using scatter, paint-on, or bait station methods. Keep dogs away during application and until the bait is dry or secured.
Why Agita Fly Bait works for kennels
Flies are more than a nuisance in dog kennels—they can spread bacteria and stress your dogs. Agita Fly Bait attracts and kills flies quickly, reducing their population around waste areas without relying on sprays that might irritate animals' respiratory systems. The bait uses a food attractant that flies find irresistible, making it a targeted solution for kennel environments.
Safety first: dogs and bait placement
Agita Fly Bait is designed for outdoor use and should never be placed where dogs can directly ingest it. Always apply it in areas inaccessible to your pets, such as behind kennel walls, under elevated structures, or inside secured bait stations. If using the scatter method, choose a time when dogs are not in the run, and wait until the bait is fully consumed or cleaned up before letting them back in.
Step-by-step application guide
- Identify fly hotspots: Walk your kennel and note where flies gather most: garbage bins, compost piles, manure piles, and near food sources. These are your primary application zones. If you see flies resting on kennel walls or dog bowls, those areas are too close to dogs—move your application further away.
- Choose your application method: Decide between scattering the dry bait on the ground, mixing it with water to paint onto surfaces, or placing it in a bait station. Scatter works best on dry ground; paint-on is ideal for vertical surfaces like fence posts; bait stations are safest around dogs. Never place loose bait directly on kennel floors—dogs may eat it. Use bait stations or paint-on method near runs.
- Apply at the right rate: Follow the label rate: typically 1–2 tablespoons per 10 square feet for scatter, or as directed for paint-on. Spread evenly, not in piles. Over-application wastes bait and may attract more flies than it kills. Stick to the recommended amount.
- Keep dogs away during and after application: Remove dogs from the area before applying. For scatter or paint-on, wait until the bait is dry or has been consumed by flies—usually 1–2 hours. For bait stations, ensure they are securely closed and placed where dogs cannot knock them over. Even dry bait can be attractive to curious dogs. Check stations daily for damage.
- Monitor and reapply as needed: Check fly activity after 24 hours. Reapply if flies return, typically every 7–14 days depending on weather and fly pressure. Store remaining bait in a sealed container away from pets and children. Rain can wash away bait. Reapply after heavy rain or if you notice flies returning to treated areas.
