Wastewater Treatment

Midge and filter flies are more than a nuisance to the staff and surrounding neighbors of wastewater treatment facilities. In severe wastewater infestations, flies can alter water quality, clog pipes/equipment, transmit pathogens and generate complaints from surrounding properties.

Controlling these pests is essential to keeping a wastewater treatment facility operating efficiently.

By targeting the pests during development, urban and rural water management facilities can rely on Strike® products to achieve effective midge fly management that breaks the pest life cycle and prevents adult populations from emerging.
