Midge fly
Midge flies alter water quality, clog pipes, and in extreme cases, transmit pathogens. Adult midge flies resemble mosquitoes in appearance with bushy antennae, and are ready to mate and lay eggs within days of emergence.
Strike back against midges and filter flies
Strike products stop flies in the pupal stage to offer lasting control
Midges and filter flies can pose a serious threat to wastewater facilities; especially legacy facilities built around or before 1972 dealing with aging infrastructure and outdated processes. Not only can they impact water quality, they can also transmit pathogens in severe cases, putting the public health at risk.
That's why Strike® products feature an insect growth regulator (IGR) that's proven by entomologists to be highly effective against midge and filter fly infestations. It's time for your operation to strike back against midges and filter flies.
