Controlling Midges and Filter Flies in Legacy Wastewater Treatment FacilitiesMidges and filter flies are more than nuisances to wastewater treatment facilities. They can deplete oxygen levels, create floating mats of pupal casings, degrade water quality, clog pipes, and, in extreme cases, transmit pathogens. These infestations pose an even greater risk for legacy facilities. Many lack modern filtration capabilities and face increased strain as urban sprawl expands nearby and flows rise with growth. Together, these conditions create an ideal environment for midge and filter fly populations to grow rapidly if left unchecked. Strike products from Central Life Sciences break the life
