fly control

has any body used or herd of any body using fly predator to control flies.

I have used Fly Predators in the past and have had great success.  I think it works best on acreages or concentrated feeding areas.  pasture scenarios would be a challenge, but if you have 5 acres or so you can get along great with them.  Get ahead of the flys early by putting out the predators before the pressure gets to great and stay on the program throughout the fly season.

We used them last year and just received our second shipment for this year.  We use them in and around the barn and feed areas and also around the manure piles.  We try to move out all the manure in March and April and start with the Predators at the end of April.  We thought it made a difference and that's why we tried them again this year.  I agree with Chap, get them out early and get ahead of the problem, also get the lots and the barns cleaned out to reduce areas to lay eggs and it will help.  Good luck. 

I have been using the predators in the show barn the last couple of years and love them.  They work GREAT in a smaller environment.
