Despite stable flies having being declared under the BAM Act for a number of years now, animals and humans continue to suffer unacceptable negative impacts from this scourge.....let's hope the change of government will lead to positive and effective change management.

About SFAG
Who are we?
SFAG's primary objective is...to develop strategies to eliminate the stable (biting) fly (stomoxys calcitrans) problem.
Stable (biting) flies have become an ever-increasing menace in Perth’s outer metropolitan shires for the last 15 years.
SFAG was established and incorporated in 2005 as a result of the increasing impact of stable flies (stomoxys calcitrans) on residents and livestock in the Shire of Gingin. SFAG builds on the work of a dedicated group in the Shire of Gingin during the 1990s which led to the creation of the government appointed Stable Fly Management Steering Group and the restriction of the use of raw poultry manure to three months of the year.
SFAG now represents members from the 12 local government areas declared as affected by stable flies under the WA BAM Act.
