What Bait should I buy for the EZ Strike Fly Bait Stations for outdoor kitten enclosure?

We have a 26ft x 18ft kitten chicken wire enclosure at the Bahamas Humane Society, Bahamas.

It is occupied by about 40 kittens.

Plenty poop and often diahrea in the kitty litter trays is attracting tons of flys.

Its AWFUL!!!

I am ordering 12 of the EZ Strike Fly Bait Stations ( 751871).

Should I order more than that?

What is the best bait to buy for the Stations? I see that you have mentioned BX Spikes special adhesive?

I am thinking that the safest is something that staff can't spill when they are filling the stations and thus cause a risk to the kittens who might play with or eat it.

Although we can just have one careful person responsible for this.

Do you have any other suggestions that might help eradicate or substantially reduce our fly problem?

I think the situation is exacerbated by the fact that the kitten enclosure is adjacent to a chicken, duck and turtle pond enclosure.

We also have a big MOSQUITO problem - especially early evenings what is your recommendation to reduce these?

Thank you in anticipation of your quick response.

The best trap for this situation will be the Flies Be Gone Fly Bag.

I recommend to place them around the perimeter of the wire enclosure for best results. The EZ Strike Fly Bait Station is good, and could even be used in addition to the Flies Be Gone Bag, but when there is extreme xxxx , etc, they usually don't do the best job.

The best overall Mosquito control is spraying the entire area with a residual pesticide such as Bifen. Unfortunately, this is something that will have to be done on a regular basis, and it will only kill the immediate harboring mosquitoes, not the outside invaders that can invade at night from a great distance. In beach settings, it is very difficult to keep mosquitoes away. Fires, flames and citronella candles would be the best control after dark.
