Control Those Pesky Horse Flies with 100% Natural Fly Predators
Fly predators are natural enemies of the common pest fly. Looking a little like tiny ants with wings, fly predators love to attack and kill pest fly larva before they get a chance to mature. For horse folk with fly control problems, Spalding Labs has raised up an army of fly predators that can be shipped direct-to-consumer for do-it-yourself pest management. Shipped in the pupal (cocoon) stage, fly predators will start to emerge in the shipping package 2-7 days after arrival in summer (later when cooler). After emergence starts, just sprinkle the fly predators near all areas where there is, or was, fresh manure (or other rotting organic matter). As soon as these little beauties hit the ground they’ll be on the job looking for pest fly larva. Fly predators can also be effective around spoiled hay, feed, round bale feeders, and grass clippings. For all-natural protection against the common pest fly, try a bag of fly predators. Shipped in quantities sufficient to protect up to 25 horses. Monthly application in summer. $18 to $50 | Buy
