    What is the most important step in a successful Filth Fly program

    • Fly Bags

    • Lots of Fly Bait

    • Exclusion

    • Sanitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Sanitation
    Explanation
    Sanitation is the most important step in a successful Filth Fly program because it involves removing or minimizing the conditions that attract flies, such as food sources, breeding sites, and waste materials. By practicing good sanitation, such as proper waste management and cleaning, the fly population can be significantly reduced. This step is crucial as it addresses the root cause of the fly problem, preventing their attraction and reproduction, which ultimately leads to a more effective and long-lasting control of filth flies.
