One Tiger's Trash Is Another Dog's Treasure
Wednesday January 25, 2012
Question:
We volunteer at a tiger farm. They have a pit with the excess food from the tiger, which flies obviously love. The dogs go into the pit for treats so we would like ideas on how to treat the pit safely without hurting the dogs. Thank you so much.

Answer:
This definitely qualifies as a new one for me, so thank you. I am forming a picture in my mind of this situation that may or may not be an accurate one, but either way I think a non-pesticide approach to this problem will be the much better long term solution. If you focus on trying to kill the flies with pesticides it is going to be a very constant need to re-apply your products, and you don't want this. And, anything you apply to the meat in that pit that will kill the flies is going to have some level of toxicity to other animals that eat it too.
