Paint-on is a very commonly used method of application among all livestock producers.
The main advantages for this method are that it is easy to apply, and that it can be used in all different kinds of areas where flies tend to congregate.
Another advantage of the painting method is that you can paint spots in areas where flies congregate, for example: warm and sunny wall areas, window frames, milk pipes, outside feeding troughs etc.
Paint-on products are normally mixed with lukewarm water until a brushable paint is obtained.
Where there is insufficient surface available for painting or where some light discolouration would be unacceptable, it is possible to paint strips of cardboard, polyethylene, or light boards and hang them from the ceiling.
Paint-on products provide long term residual control of flies.
