PheroGuard™ + NWSW Trap Programs

Works in tandem with your existing trap programs.

More flies lured. More flies trapped. Healthier livestock. PheroGuard™ disrupts host-location signals on and around your animals — driving flies toward your traps and away from the herd.

An Integrated Protection Strategy

PheroGuard is a driver to your traps — not an attractant.

Most trap programs work by pulling flies in from a distance. PheroGuard works from the other direction: it disrupts the host-seeking signals flies rely on to find your animals, so they leave the herd and move toward the attraction zone your traps already create. The two systems push and pull in the same direction.

1

Drive

Apply PheroGuard™ as a broadcast perimeter around livestock and high-traffic areas. Host-location signals on and around the animals are disrupted.

2

Lure

Your existing NWSW traps continue using attractants to pull flies in from a distance — now with less competition from the animals themselves.

3

Capture

Flies leave the animals and move toward the traps. More flies enter the traps and are captured.

4

Reduce

Fewer flies on animals means less stress, improved health, and reduced breeding and fly populations over time.

PheroGuard™ Protected Zone

On and around the animal

PheroGuard disrupts host-location signals where your livestock live and congregate. Flies can't lock onto the herd — so they look elsewhere.

NWSW Trap Attraction Zone

Out at the perimeter

Your traps keep doing what they do best — pulling flies in from a distance with proven attractants. PheroGuard simply gives the flies a reason to head their way.

The System at a Glance

PheroGuard™ + NWSW traps = integrated protection.

The complete tandem strategy — how the protected zone and the attraction zone work together to move flies off your animals and into your traps.

PheroGuard works in tandem with existing trap programs — protected zone disrupts host-location signals on livestock while NWSW traps pull flies from a distance, driving more flies toward traps and away from animals.

Why Run Them Together

A smarter, more complete fly-control approach.

Reduce fly pressure on livestock

Move biting flies off the animals so the herd experiences less stress and irritation.

Support your existing trap program

PheroGuard enhances the traps you already own — no need to rip out and replace what's working.

Improve monitoring efficiency

More flies in the traps means better data for tracking pressure and breeding populations.

Strengthen integrated pest management

A push-pull strategy that fits cleanly into a broader IPM and biosecurity plan.
