Improve Your Operation with Strike® Products
Entomologists have done studies on the control of midge and filter flies in wastewater facilities. It has been proven that the insect growth regulator (IGR) in Strike® products is highly effective in eliminating infestations and keeping them under control without the use of harmful ingredients.
Midge vs. Filter Flies
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.
Filter Fly
Operations also need filter fly control they can count on to combat both the nuisance factor and the potential health risks. Adult filter flies are known for their "hairy" appearance and pointed moth-like wings.
Control Pests in Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Midges and filter flies are more than nuisances to wastewater treatment facilities, able to deplete oxygen levels, create floating mats of pupal casings, degrade water quality, clog pipes, and even transmit pathogens. These infestations pose greater risk for legacy facilities built before the Clean Water Act of 1972, many lacking the advanced filtration capabilities of modern plants. Strike® products break the midge and filter fly life cycle to prevent future generations from developing in these facilities, targeting pests in the pupal stage to ensure your facility operates at its best.
