Maybe the sign refers to pests rather than aviation?

I think you're right.

Odd that it says "fly" and not "bug", though.


Technically, bugs are a very specific kind of insect; it's got to do
with having sucking, rather than biting, mouth parts.

I am well aware of that. Unlike the major proportion of the North American population.


Also, pretty much all the insects that affect sheep and cattle are known
as flies; bot fly, canker fly, etc.

My first reading of the sign that it was an old pesticide distribution
site.
