The start of the blowfly season is variable year on year and can vary considerably across different areas on the same farm. Blowflies are dependent on soil temperatures rising above 90C. In 2017, the first reported case we received was in mid-April in Hampshire compared with early May in 2016. As a result, it is always important to act early and use a preventative as soon as the weather starts to warm up.
