Any wound, whether from trauma, a bite, a cut, or even a small skin injury can attract flies. With the concern for New World screwworm, these wounds become even more important to monitor. Screwworm flies lay eggs in open wounds, and the resulting larvae feed on living tissue, causing severe and rapidly worsening damage.![]()

The good news is that we have approved products available that target and kill screwworm larvae and can be used as part of treatment and prevention in at-risk animals.![]()
