Farm Bureau Director Greg Buenger provides update information concerning screw worms found in Texas.
Presently, 100 million sterilized larvae are flown from Panama and dispersed weekly. Buenger says that 500 million were dispersed weekly during the epidemic in the 1960's.
A Texas facility to produce sterilized flies should be ready near the end of 2027. A Mexico facility is also being built. Buenger also says that his experience with injectable Ivermectin should be a reasonable fly deterrent.
Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon everyone to keep a watchful eye on all livestock and pets. Screw worm flies lay their eggs in open wounds and the larvae are flesh-eating. Please give this your utmost attention.
