Fly Parasites


Nature has provided biological control for flies. FLY PARASITES! These tiny USDA approved beneficial insects seek out the fly pupae and lay their eggs inside as part of their own reproductive cycle. The fly parasite larvae consumes the pest fly's larvae. The adult fly parasite emerges and will repeat the cycle, seeking out other fly pupae.

Fly parasites attack several species of filth-breeding flies commonly associated with animals. They live on and near manure and garbage waste disposal sites, going completely unnoticed by humans or animals.

The key to a successful fly control program is to start early, making scheduled weekly releases throughout the fly breeding season. Use of supplemental control methods such as sugar baits, fly traps, manure and breeding habitat management, etc. are recommended. These are many factors that influence the quantity of fly parasites to be released in a particular area. Some of these are: temperature, humidity, rainfall, soils, manure management, breeding media, number and type of animals in confinement, past history, migration patterns, your expectations, etc.

To release the fly parasites think like a MAMA FLY! The parasites should be distributed throughout the breeding areas when they begin emerging. Our program is the easiest, most economical, long-term method of fly control to be found.
