Fly Predators

Fly predators are tiny wasps. They are smaller than a nat and are harmless to people. They search out and attack the maggots of flies. When they find them they lay their eggs in them. Then the wasp larva eats the fly larva and emerges from the fly's pupa instead of the fly. They are an easy and effective chemical free way to control fly populations. They occur naturaly but releasing them just boosts their population. If you have a fly problem these little guys can help in conjunction with proper manure management, magot control and adult fly control. For information on how to do all of this check out this website.
