QuikStrike® Fly Bait is a commercial insecticide product used to control house flies, especially in agricultural or outdoor environments like barns, stables, and trash areas.

🪰

• A ready-to-use fly bait (usually granular, sometimes strips or spray) designed to attract and kill flies quickly.

• Commonly used in:

  • Livestock facilities (barns, dairies, poultry houses)

  • Commercial or industrial areas

  • Outdoor problem spots like dumpsters

⚙️ How it works

QuikStrike uses a dual-action formula:

1. Attracts flies

• Contains attractants like(Z)-9-tricosene and sugar-based ingredients that lure flies to feed

2. Kills flies rapidly

• The main insecticide is typically dinotefuran (a neonicotinoid)

• It attacks the fly’s nervous system, causing paralysis and death soon after ingestion

✅ Result: Flies are drawn in, eat the bait, and die quickly—often within minutes.

🧪 Key ingredients (typical formula)

• Dinotefuran (~0.5%) – active insecticide

• (Z)-9-Tricosene (~0.04%) – fly attractant

• Sugars/food attractants (~99%) – makes it appealing for flies

(Some versions or related products may use slightly different insecticides like nithiazine or others, depending on the formulation.)

🏡 How it’s used

• Scatter granules where flies gather (dry surfaces, manure areas, trash zones)

• Or place in bait stations to keep it contained

• Can also be applied to surfaces in some formulations

Typical guideline:

• About ¼ lb per 500 sq ft (varies by label)
