G7030, Reviewed October 1993
House flies, soldier flies and other non-biting flies can and often do become a problem in poultry buildings. They do not bite or feed on the birds but may carry pathogens because of their habit of feeding on manure, dead birds and other waste materials.
Poultry manure is an excellent development material for fly larvae. Caged layer operations concentrate a large amount of manure in a relatively small area and therefore create an ideal situation for producing many flies. Flies and odor coming from poorly managed buildings may result in legal action against the producer.
This guide gives recommendations for controlling flies only in caged layer operations where the birds are not in contact with the floor or litter. Properly managed floor operations seldom have a fly problem.
Effective and economical fly control depends on:
The first, most important step in fly control is prompt and regular removal of waste material where flies breed. Flies lay eggs on wet, decaying material. This includes waste feed, broken eggs and dead birds. The maggots that hatch from these eggs cannot develop in manure or other dry materials.
Keep droppings dry. Repair water leaks, both in water supply lines and building roofs. Soldier fly infestations usually start around the outside of open buildings where rain and snow have blown onto the manure and made it wet.
The caged layer operator has two options available when considering the frequency of manure removal:
The manure that is removed should be thinly spread in fields, not piled outside the buildings.
If good sanitation practices are followed, less insecticide will be needed and that used will be more effective.
Acceptable fly control in open houses requires strict attention to sanitation and manure management, supplemented with the use of insecticides as baits, residual sprays and spot treatment of manure for maggot control.
Baits consist of an insecticide and an attractant, which serves to draw flies to the insecticide. Start spreading the bait as soon as flies begin to be numerous. Place bait where flies congregate during the day — window ledges, doorways, on the floor between cages, etc.
During the first four or five days, scatter dry bait heavily enough that it can be seen. Continue to put out bait each day for the next week, using smaller amounts than for the first application. After the first 10 days, apply bait every two to four days to those places where the most flies were killed during the initial baiting.
To make a liquid bait, mix the proper amount of insecticide with water and add sugar, corn syrup or molasses. Follow the directions on the container label. Use a sprinkling can to spread the bait on the floor. On a dirt floor or where the floor is dirty, apply the bait on pieces of burlap, cardboard, etc. Apply new, fresh bait every two to four days.
Continue to use bait regularly during the summer. Don't stop as soon as fly numbers are knocked down. If you do and the numbers build up, you will have to start all over again with the heavy initial baiting.
Don't place baits where birds may come in direct contact with the material. Don't contaminate feed, water, utensils or eggs.
Residual sprays leave a deposit of insecticide that the fly contacts when it lands on the treated surface. Residual sprays will remain effective for a few days up to several weeks. Apply the first spray around doors and windows, walls, ceilings and rafters in late spring or early summer as soon as flies begin to be a problem. Repeat applications as needed. Apply 1 gallon of spray per 500 to 1,000 square feet of surface. On unfinished wood, brick or concrete surfaces, wettable powder formulations will give longer lasting control than emulsifiable concentrates.
Remove birds and eggs before applying dimethoate. Don't apply fenthion, permethrin, Rabon or ronnel directly onto birds. Avoid application where drift or droplets contact birds; this may necessitate covering the cages during the application of fenthion, permethrin, Rabon or ronnel. Cover feed and water troughs before spraying with any insecticide.
House fly resistance to permethrinIn some areas of Missouri, house flies have become resistant to residual sprays of permethrin. Rates that have good control the previous season often fail suddenly when reapplied in the spring. If this happens, do not continue permethrin use. Instead, apply an organophosphorous insecticide as a residual surface treatment. Ensure adequate sanitation and consider using bait and fogs to reduce populations of adult flies.
Maggot controlMaggots should not develop in manure that is kept dry. If the manure becomes wet, correct the cause of the moisture. If maggots develop in the wet manure, make spot applications of one of the recommended maggot sprays to the infested manure. Apply as a coarse spray or with a sprinkling can. Apply approximately 1 gallon per 100 square feet of surface area.
Don't apply where birds may come in contact with the treated manure.
Feed-through fly controlInsecticide may be applied to the droppings of caged laying hens by incorporation in the feed. This ensures even distribution in the droppings and is very labor-economical. An adequate batch mill is required for even distribution of the material in large quantities of feed.
Recommended feed-throughUse cyromazine (Larvadex) 0.3 percent pre-mix at the rate of 1 pound per ton of finished feed (final rate of 1.5 parts per million) for control of house flies. Feed continually until house fly larval development is suppressed, then feed every other week for the remainder of the fly season. Do not cease sanitary practices and scheduled removal of the droppings. Spot-treat any maggot infestations with a maggot spray as described above.
Flies should not become a problem in closed houses if good sanitation practices are followed and all openings are kept screened. Screen air inlets with fly screening and keep good springs on screen doors.
FogIf a fly problem does develop in a closed house, apply a fog of insecticide to knock down the adult population.
Make the application in early morning before flies become active or late afternoon after flies go to roost. Turn off fans; make fog application; then turn fans on. Direct fog toward ceiling for best results.
BaitsAs a supplemental treatment, use baits as described under the "Fly control in open houses" section. Apply around doorways and on the walkway floor between cages.
Maggot controlIf maggots develop in the manure under the cages, follow the directions in the "Fly control in open houses" section.
Feed-through fly controlUse cytomazine as described in the "Fly control in open houses" section.
Residual spraysApplications of a residual spray on outside surfaces near doors and other openings will aid in reducing the number of flies that enter the building. Follow the directions and restrictions as given in the "Fly control in open houses" section.
General precautionsDon't apply non-registered materials directly to poultry or within poultry houses. To do so may cause the meat or eggs to become contaminated and unsalable. Be sure to read and follow the safety precautions given on the label of the container.

As part of all the activities leading up to Friday's homecoming game and dance on Saturday, kids were challenged to dress for the theme for each day ranging from "nerd day" to the culminating "spirit day." Tuesday was "decades day," as portrayed here by four cave girls and Casey Adams. She wore the uniform of her late aunt Rita Rominski, who served as a nurse in World War II.

text: Why Themed Trips Are Cooler Than You Think Amanda Kendle February 24 Features 22 Comments This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure.These days, it's just not enough to go to Paris and visit the Eiffel Tower, walk over the Tower Bridge in London and then grab an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. Now that travel's easier and cheaper, so many people have done these things that they're just not special anymore. And I think that's the reason why some (including me) go a bit crazy about planning a special trip with an unusual theme. Travel agencies have started to recognize people's desire for themed trips. These days you can find tours based on books or movies, on historical journeys, or pretty much any theme you can imagine. But you might have guessed I'm not a big fan of tours: so when I'm talking themed trip, I'm definitely talking a make-your-own deal. It's a lot more fun. Great Themed Trips That Have Already Been Done There's something about making a trip with "a point" — even a fairly nonsensical point — that makes people want to do these kinds of journeys, and to read about them too. A lot of travel narrative books these days cover these sorts of trips, and I've read a couple of great ones recently. Where Underpants Come From by Joe Bennett is one such example — Bennett is a New Zealander who decided he wanted to follow the manufacturing process of his cheap pair of "Made in China" underpants, and the journey took him through Shanghai factories and out into the countryside, along with a side trip to Thailand where the rubber for the elastic in his underpants came from. I also enjoyed Batting on the Bosphorus, Angus Bell's odd juxtaposition of chasing people who play the English game of cricket across eastern European nations; then there's Greasy Rider, Greg Melville's story of stopping at key environmentally-friendly spots across the United States as he attempts to cross the country in a car powered by the waste oil and fat from fast food restaurants. Get the idea? I think there are as many ideas for themed trips out there as there are travelers — and probably more. Tourist Ants at the Eiffel Tower, Paris © Adrian Boliston What's Good About Making a Themed Trip I think there's a lot to be said for planning such a trip. For one, it's fun. Planning a trip like this is even more interesting than the usual planning, and I love that already. Having a focus for your trip makes planning in some ways easier, too, because you don't feel obliged to see and do "everything" that crosses your path. The Eiffel Tower becomes a non-compulsory part of a trip to Paris. And while doing the research you need for this style of planning, you're bound to discover all kinds of interesting information that the average traveler misses out on. Even more important, this kind of trip is likely to connect you up with local people a lot more closely. You'll probably need to contact locals in advance to arrange parts of your trip — like in the Underpants trip, where Bennett got into contact with Chinese people from all walks of life, including in shops and factories, before he even got on a plane. That can certainly help you to learn more about a country and is definitely likely to provide some more unique stories to reminisce about after the trip is over.

The Downsides to Themed Trips One danger on this kind of themed trip is you could get so focused on your theme that you do miss out on other great things around you — yep, the opposite of the good point I just mentioned. So make sure you allow time to experience stuff that may not be on your themed trip's agenda but might still really interest you. Another potential downside is basically that the people around you might think you're a little crazy! Whether it's your family and friends who scoff at your unusual plans before you leave, or locals at your destination who think your mission is too odd to help out with, I'm sure every one of the authors I mentioned above came across some kind of problem like this along the way. Of course, life is too short to worry too much about what other people think — but be warned. © pimpexposure Your Own Themed Trip? I guess that because I love traveling, quirky ideas for themed trips are popping into my head on a regular basis. For example, I'd love to do a road trip around the United States where the next destination always started with the next letter of the alphabet — my ABC drive, so to speak. I've also wondered if I could put together a round-the-world trip that stopped (only) in every country which matched the nationality of students I've taught in the past — that's about a thirty-country trip at the moment. And the list goes on, but then they get too ridiculous to publish. What about you? Let your imagination go wild — or perhaps you already have a fantasy themed trip — and tell us what kind of crazy travels you would like to do! 22 Responses Kris February 12 I am currently on my own extended themed trip. Because I don't have the time or money to go very far, I've been taking little roadtrips from my home in Kansas all around the Midwest. I'm going from Kansas to Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas and a few more places as well. My theme: I'm on a yellow brick road trip to see all the interesting, unique and just plain weird roadside attractions I can find. Reply Amanda Kendle February 13 Hey Kris, that's a neat idea!! Great to think you don't need too much time or money to get out there and find some weird stuff … there could be a book in that! Reply Kris February 13 I've thought about writing a road trip book! For now, I'm just writing a blog about the Yellow Brick Road Trip. And I've been enjoying reading yours Not A Ballerina! Reply Alan February 13 Amanda – Been toying with the idea of doing a U.S. road trip in search of unique Indian restaurants, and, naturally, writing about it! I foresee a combination of restaurant profiles with travel writing and a historical background of how Indian food made it to the U.S. Glad to have stumbled upon this post! What's your theme trip idea? I dig your blog. Reply NjClarke February 15 Great article Themed travel is something i love and definately want to explore in the future. Last year i travelled around britain with a very vague theme of finding the nature of "Adventure" which was broad enough to let me do a lot of things but also took me to places i wouldnt ordinarily go. The next themed Travel i have planned would be to visit on a road trip all of the places mentioned in the Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere." Reply Antra February 15 I'm currently reading a book I found called "Four Letter Countries: The Zany Adventures of the Alphabet Traveller" where the author David Jenkins decides to visit the ten countries that only have four letters in their names. It is a fun read so far, so the idea of themed trips is getting out there! As to my own trip that I'm in the middle of, I'm not sure if it is *themed* per se (does visiting every country in Europe count as a theme?), but before leaving I came up with a list of things I wanted to accomplish called "55 Things in 555 Days". 131 days in, five completed, 14 in progress, but I've been fairly stationary for the past two months, so when I get on the move again, that list will improve. Reply Amanda Kendle February 15 @ Kris, you should write a book. I like your blog! Nice idea. @ Alan, ditto! Unique Indian restaurants sounds, well, what else can I say but unique? Reply Amanda Kendle February 16 @ NjClarke, the Johnny Cash road trip idea is a great one! You should do it. @ Antra, I've heard of that book but haven't read it yet, it's a cool idea. Good luck with your 55 things in 555 days!! Reply Kris February 18 @NjClarke, I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan! I've always wanted to go to Folsom just because of the song. I'm from Tulsa originally, which is mentioned in the song. If you want some suggestions of places to see there let me know. There's some particularly interesting roadside attractions there. Reply Skylab February 18 It's great to have a theme. It gives you a goal. My theme lately has been exploring the music culture. Reply Rob February 19 I agree 100% on theme tours, Amanda. To make a fun theme tour takes a bit of planning and research but that just adds to the anticipation of the big event. I'm planning foodie/wino tour to Spain and France for mid-September. I feel as if I've already been there! Reply Amanda Kendle February 21 @ Skylab, music culture definitely sounds like a good travel theme. A few ideas spring to my mind already … @ Rob, food and wine, sounds perfect :-) I agree, a bit of extra planning and research is not a bad thing – in fact it's half the fun! Enjoy your trip in September. Reply BDex February 22 Great article! My first consciously themed travel was a wonderful experience: "Volcanoes, Ruins and Revolution" in Central America. Even with seven weeks, three themes was too many and I fell well short on Revolution. Still, I learned much more than I would have without specific interests and I have a theme waiting for me when I return :) Reply kazari February 23 Most of my travel seems to be 'themed' recently. My husband loves rock climbing (and I enjoy it, too!) so recent trips have includes side trips to Castle Hill in New Zealand and Fontainbleau in France. I'm waiting for him to suggest a trip to Colorado, next… Another wacky trip was a friend – she timed her honeymoon to coincide with a belly dance conference she wanted to attend in Cairo. Reply Nik March 10 Thats a great idea Amanda, and very inspiring. I'm starting to think about the various wacky things you can "theme" your trips on. How about Fear Food theme! Hah, all those food they make you eat in Fear Factor are delicacies at other parts of the world… it'll be cool to visit them and eat the food right with the locals! Obviously, Lord of the Rings themed trips are all the rage now, judging from the numerous brochures promoting LotR tours when I was back there last Jan.. Reply Angelo January 21 I would love to make trips to all the countries that have hosted major soccer competitions (world cup, european cup) in the past two decades and record how such events transform the socioeconomic and cultural landscape.

They would also make great travel memoirs! I'm planning on moving to Europe this year and I'd really like to do one around "castles" Reply Celia February 20 When our kids were young, we did a Laura Ingalls Wilder literary pilgrimage, which was much more interesting than we'd ever have guessed. We got a substantial dose of American history at the same time. Reply Shalu Sharma February 27 I am hearing a lot about these themed trips. Its all well and good but you might not be able to do your own things. But its worth trying it out. Reply Wanderlusters March 4 We've been travelling none stop for the past two years and have never considered theming our adventures. It looks like an interesting way to spice up the sometimes bland act of visiting 'tourist' sites. Plus having a check list of spots to see might be quite exciting and may give more focus to our itinerary! Reply Anita February 24 Fun ideas! I love to trace my ancestors and follow their footsteps on heritage quests–sometimes from birth far away to immigration to destination–finding houses or places they would have known.

Why hello, Internet. Welcome to my Wednesday evening, AKA the last night on my own before Phillip returns from his business trip. He left Monday, he'll be back Thursday in time to put the kids to bed. Not too bad, right? He's done this exact same trip a million times now (okay, maybe it just FEELS like a million times) and usually he's gone an extra night or two. This is nothing! RIGHT?
Oh, but it's something, Internet, it's SOMETHING. For one thing, it's his first trip away since we've had Emma, and let me tell you, solo parenting two preschoolers is a heckuva lot different than solo parenting two preschoolers and a two-month-old. I used to be able to put the big kids away and collapse in front of the television. Now I put the big kids to bed and stand in front of the television, rocking and bouncing a wide awake baby.
It's also just LONELY. I haven't had the time or brain space to organize all the grown up time I usually try to have when Phillip is away. I'm not even sure my friends KNOW he's away (well, unless they read my blog. Then they are tired of hearing about it.) Plus it's December, which means we're super busy, even on a regular old boring preschool weekday. When else are we going to buy Christmas presents? There are people to visit, parties to plan, parties to attend, family events, preschool festivities - we just got home from the big school Christmas program and that right there was enough to send me to bed for the next twenty years. Jack, of course, was beyond adorable, but now I need him to pour me a drink.
Whenever Phillip is away I spend a lot of time thinking about single parents. How do they DO this? I mean, I do it. I don't do it WELL, but I do it and it gets done and honestly, the anticipation of a business trip is so much worse than the actual trip. But to do this on a regular basis? I'd go mad. Sometimes I start thinking about moms whose husbands are deployed and ugh, just TYPING that makes me want to sob.
I feel like I should be used to it, and most of the time I think I've come to terms with the fact that Phillip travels for work. But I'm realizing that "coming to terms" doesn't exactly equal "happy about it". I wish it did. It's not like I don't want Phillip to GO. That job is, after all, what enables me to BE a stay at home mom (not to mention funds my Target habit.) And I'm proud of him and excited for all the projects that require the travel. But every time he tells me he's going away, I tense up. I get that yucky feeling in my shoulder blades, like I'm guarding myself, or putting on my Staying Home Alone Armor. I just... it just hasn't gotten any easier. I don't think I'm ever going to be all "no sweat!" about my husband flying across the country for a week while I stick it out with the kids.
Is that a horrible thing to say? It's SUCH a first world problem, for one thing. And at least my husband HAS a job. (We could go pretty far down this road, but I think I'll stop right there.) It's certainly clear that my inability to get over this is a huge personal failing. I'm just at the point now where instead of beating myself up about not being a better person, I start trying to figure out how to make IT better.
Um, any ideas?

The Bucklin Lady Aces didn't start off in a good way, giving up nine of the first 12 points of their Southern Plains-Iroquois Activities Association quarterfinal to the Kiowa County Lady Mavericks.
Once the Lady Aces got to clamp down on their defense, the Lady Aces were able to slow down Kiowa County as sophomore guard Janae Price started to get a hot shooting touch to record a 49-39 victory at United Wireless Arena.
"We had to attack on defense because we were so sluggish on offense," said Bucklin head coach Craig Bowman. "We couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, so we had to pick it up on defense to get some transition baskets. They came out controlling the game early, but we were able to come back. We persevered and picking up the defensive intensity eventually won us the game."
Bucklin was able to gain a 21-20 lead at halftime and then had Price take over as their primary scorer. The two teams were tied at 24-apiece before an eight-point run helped the Lady Aces pull away to as much as a 10-point lead and a 35-27 margin by the end of the third quarter.
Price scored 18 of her game-high 26 points in the second half (13 in the final stanza) to help the Lady Aces (8-2) push the margin further away from Kiowa County as the game continued. Price hit four from beyond the 3-point arc.
"I knew I just needed to have confidence in my shot as the game went on," Price said. "Morgan Hood got me the ball when I was open and that helped out a lot, too."

Graham's Workspace in the Middle
Name: Graham Millington
Location: West Hollywood, California
Your Home Office Organization or Tech Tip: As a designer, I try to surround my workspace with things that I admire for their design, colors, etc. From the JBL Creature speakers that are almost 10 years old but so cool to look at, to my credenza that I designed.
The original layout of this room had each desk on either side but the space in the middle of the room was just wasted so I put the computers in the middle which allowed me to have storage against the walls. The hardest thing was finding a 25 ft. Firewire cable so I could place the printer in the closet as it took up a lot of desktop space.
