Fly control

[Bessie Mae]

Has anyone had any experience using parasitic wasps to control flies?

No...I've not heard of these before.
Do you have any info to share on them?

Ive heard of letting a small colony of wasps move in to kill pests. There are wasps everywhere around here i can hardly keep em under control and the flies are still here also fighting them. At the very least two species, mud daubers and big red wasps.

I've used them in the past and they do really help! Mine came from Spalding and were worth it. They are TINY and totally harmless, except to fly larva.

Are you aware they make fly sprays for horses that are labeled for use on chickens (for lice/mites) and their housing?

I just skimmed your other thread and see you've had issues with lice and or mites.

Get some Permethrin.

I am using DE and permethrin now. We are no longer having mite/lice issues. I will check out the spray.
Thank you
