Manure Management

Keeping the area where your animals hang out clean is the first step to fly control. Making a compost pile will help by causing the manure to break down and be unusable by the flies. The flies can only use the first six inches of the manure because the rest will be too hot. So the manure in the middle of you compost will not breed the flies. Gathering the manure into a pile will also localize where the flies are breeding and make a good spot to let the fly predators go.
