To use QuickBayt fly bait effectively, there are a few steps you can follow. First, it’s important to note that QuickBayt is safe to use around pets and kids when used as directed. However, it’s always a good idea to take precautions to minimize contact with the bait.
1. Preparation:
– Before starting, make sure to wear the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes gloves and long sleeve clothing to protect your skin from any potential contact with the bait.
– Gather all the materials you will need, such as QuickBayt fly bait, a spreader or paintbrush (if using as a paint-on), and fly bait stations (if using as a scatter bait or in bait stations).
– Ensure that the treated area is clear of any food, water, or dishes that may attract flies, as QuickBayt is specifically designed to attract and kill flies.
2. Application as Scatter Bait:
– If using QuickBayt as a scatter bait, evenly distribute the bait granules over the affected area where flies are present, such as garbage cans, compost piles, or other fly breeding sites.
– Avoid applying the bait directly on food or food preparation surfaces to prevent any potential contamination.
3. Application as a Paint-On:
– If using QuickBayt as a paint-on, mix the bait with water according to the instructions on the product label. This will create a liquid bait solution.
– Use a spreader or a paintbrush to apply the bait to surfaces where flies tend to land, such as walls, fences, or windowsills.
– Make sure to cover the surface evenly and avoid applying excessive amounts of bait to prevent runoff.
4. Application in Fly Bait Stations:
– If using QuickBayt in fly bait stations, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for setting up and placing the bait stations.
– Typically, bait stations are placed in areas where flies are commonly found, such as near garbage cans, outdoor dining areas, or animal waste areas.
– Fill the bait stations with the appropriate amount of QuickBayt to attract and kill flies effectively.
5. Safety Precautions:
– Keep pets and children off treated surfaces until the bait has dried completely.
– While QuickBayt is safe when used as directed, it’s always a good idea to prevent direct contact with the bait to minimize any potential risks.
– Store QuickBayt in a secure location, out of reach of children and pets.
In my personal experience, I have found QuickBayt to be effective in controlling fly populations around outdoor dining areas and garbage bins. I have used it both as a scatter bait and in fly bait stations, and it has significantly reduced the number of flies in those areas. However, it’s important to follow the instructions and take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of pets, kids, and yourself.
