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 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.
