Whitewash and Fly Control Together

Never mix insecticides in ordinary lime whitewash. Lime whitewashes are very alkaline and cause insecticides to become ineffective in controlling insects. There are non-alkaline whitening agents available that may be used with insecticides. Check with your milk inspector or dairy association for a supply source.
