NATURE'S FLY CONTROL!

Our Fly Exterminators are a predator to 95% of flies, including house flies, lesser houseflies, horse flies, filth flies, bot flies, biting stable flies, and various other fly species.

Less complete on the false stable fly, face fly, flesh fly, and horn fly since these species complete their life cycle widely dispersed in pasture.

 

PEST FLY GUIDE
Knowing what's bugging your animals is the first step to solving the problem.

Horn Fly
A small biting fly that feeds on the horse's back, causing irritation and blood loss. It reproduces in undisturbed cow dung, so no cows, no horn flies.

House & Filth Fly
These flies are often found on your horse's face, attracted to the moisture in the eyes. While they don't bite, they can spread bacteria and parasites, posing health risks for horses.

Horse & Deer Fly
Large flies with powerful bites that cause extreme pain and blood loss. They breed in water and can travel long distances, increasing the chance of disease transmission.

Biting Stable Fly
A blood-feeding fly that targets the legs and belly, causing horses to twitch and stomp in discomfort. It also reproduces in spoiled hay, round bales, and decaying vegetation.

Bot Fly
Lays eggs in areas the horse can't reach with its mouth. The larvae burrow into the horse's mouth or stomach, causing irritation and potential digestive issues.

 


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SHIPPED FRESH & QUALITY GUARANTEED

A natural way to control flies that is people, pet, and planet safe!  

Protect your pets from fly-borne diseases with our Fly Exterminators.
Delivered in the parasitized pupae stage and ready to hatch, these nocturnal
fly predators effectively reduce pest fly populations by targeting the larval
stage of various fly species. These ant-sized insects fly inches off the ground
and do not bite, sting, swarm, or bother humans or animals.

Fly Exterminators will begin hatching 7-14 days after delivery, depending on temperature. Reduction in fly population should be noticeable approximately 3 weeks after hatching.

      HATCHING PRO TIPS

      • Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.

      • Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.

      Every order includes hatching release bags to keep Fly Exterminators safely

      for a number of reasons:
      • Target Application - The Hatching Release Bags are designed to ensure controlled and targeted application of the Fly Exterminators.

      • Easy Introduction - Hatching Release Bags provide a contained environment for the hatching and dispersal of Fly Exterminators. These tiny parasitoids are|smaller than an ant and can fit through the holes in the release bag after hatching.

      • No Mess - Hatching release bags are designed to minimize cleanup efforts, eliminating the need for post-application cleanup or the handling of potentially messy substances.
      HATCHING RELEASE BAG PRO TIP
      Hang Hatching Release Bag out of direct sunlight. Height is not critical, but must be hung off the ground to protect from birds and rodents.

      APPLICATION

      Releasing Fly Exterminators is a simple process. We also offer subscriptions so you can stay on top of the pest fly lifecycle.

      INTRODUCTION SITES
      You may see large number of flies around your animals, but the fly breeding area is most likely to be close to manure areas or other moist, rotting organic matter. These are the areas to release your Fly Exterminators.

      Top priority introduction sites include:

      • Barns
      • Stables
      • Kennels
      • Chicken Coops
      • Feedlots
      • Animal Straw Bedding

      Other potential introduction sites include:

      • Compost Piles
      • Garbage Cans
      • Septic Tanks
      • Near Water Sources (but not directly in water)

      INTRODUCTION FREQUENCY
      Introduce monthly during warm months. Heavy infestations may require additional releases. 

      HOW TO INTRODUCE FLY EXTERMINATORS

      Keep Fly Exterminators indoors, in original packaging, and out of direct sunlight. Monitor daily for first signs of movement. Hatching may take 7-14 days, depending on temperature, with the Fly Exterminators beginning to hatch at 70°F. Pupae do not change in appearance after hatching. For optimal results, release within 24 hours of hatching. Wait until temperatures are consistently over 50°F before releasing. Fly Exterminators will self-distribute up to 100 yards. 

        1. Locate fly breeding sites. Please see introduction sites above.
        2. Sprinkle Fly Exterminators near fly breeding sites and lightly cover to protect from birds and rodents OR sprinkle Fly Exterminators into hatching release bag and hang above the ground, away from birds and rodents.
        3. Introduce Fly Exterminators at other possible breeding sites.
        4. Introduce monthly during warm months.


          STORAGE
          For best results, introduce immediately upon hatching. If storage is necessary, store unhatched pupae at 39-45°F for no longer than 5 days. After hatching, adults can be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for no longer than 3 days.
