Why Use Fly Predators?
Only 15% of flies are adults. Fly Predators stop flies before you see them.
Fly Predators are nature’s way of controlling fly populations. Spalding Labs Fly Predators are a carefully selected mix of parasitoid insects that naturally target and eliminate pest flies, such as house flies and stable flies. These tiny but powerful insects work to control flies by parasitizing fly pupae. Female Fly Predators lay their eggs inside the pupae of pest flies, and their larvae feed on the developing flies, stopping the next generation before it hatches.
Our custom order generator and on-staff team of fly control experts will evaluate your unique situation to determine how many Fly Predators® you need to manage your pest situation. Once you receive your shipment of Fly Predators®, simply sprinkle the bugs near manure areas every 3-4 weeks during warm months. Want a more detailed explanation? Click the button to learn more!
