Face Fly Protection - hands-off easy!!

To minimize your livestock's exposure to pests that carry disease and create stress for your animals, a simple gravity-fed upright mineral feeder mop can effortlessly provide protection in the field. Simply hang the tank from your upright mineral feeder could and let gravity do the rest. As the tank is tipped, it exposes the bag and mop to your pesticide which then spreads across your cattle where it's needed.

Simple to install and even easier to use (the cattle to it themselves!), the face fly protection provided by this tank and mop can reduce stress and increase weight gain while keeping your herd healthy. See all of Barn World's mineral feeders!

Video Review

Video review of the Face Fly Control Tank and Mop from Tarter

The health of your herd is important and fly control is a large part of it. Tarter has a solution called the face fly attachment kit for the upright mineral feeder. A good mineral program is important to anyone's herd and if you're feeding a medicated mineral for flies, that's great, you're one step ahead, but something that gets you even further down the road is going to be that face fly attachment kit.

This attachment kit is going to mount on the top half of your super-duty mineral feeder so each time your cattle come in to consume that mineral, the face fly attachment kit has a well inside of it. There are small little holes throughout the bottom, then what goes on the top part of that is a heavy canvas that mimics a mop on the lower portion.  When you fill the well, or tank with your fly control product, it's going to wick out into the fly face attachment and every time your cattle come to get that mineral, it's going to wipe that product across their face and keep your flies under control.

Anytime that you can keep the flies off your cows, they're going to spend more time grazing instead of spending time hiding away in the shade or suffering the stress of those pesky insects.

Fly control is really important to the herd. It can affect the health of animals if not done properly so make sure to make your livestock's health a priority in your operation with a face fly attachment kit.

Installs very quickly!!

Installing the face fly attachment kit is extremely fast and easy! The video shows just how quick: 'Today we have a super-duty mineral feeder and a face fly attachment kit and we're going to show you how to install it and we're going to time it.

With the kit, you're going to have a long rod. You'll start on one side and place the rod through the hole and then on the opposite side, line it up and place it through the hole as well. The kit comes with two small pins that go through the rod and hold it in place. Once both are in place, the kit is held firmly above the feeder tray and is ready to be filled with a pest control product.

The tank has a lid on one side that you simply unscrew and pour your chemical inside to be dispensed.

Sometimes, if you think the product isn't coming out as quickly as you think it should, you can check that the holes are free and clear of any impediments that may cause a slowing of the liquid being dispensed from the tank. You can remove the skirt and take a wool or wire brush and rub gently across the bottom of the tank to dislodge and clean any unwanted buildup that may be slowing the product.  Slide your skit and mop back on and you're ready for business.

Once you're done using it for the season, be sure to keep minerals in it. At the end of the season, go ahead and wash the mop to keep it clean for use the next year.
