What does everyone do for fly control???

Fly predators are a must have.

Fly predators are a must have.

We got those last year. Just ordered them and doubled what we normally get since we have rabbits now too.

Do fly predators reproduce year after year or do you have to buy them each year?

You have to get them every year. It's like a monthly subscription.

I see. Hmmm... I know there is a parasite that kills wasps. Didn't know there was one that killed flies. Does it eat the maggots or the fly eggs?

Neither. They lay eggs in the pupae. When you order them, you get fly pupae. Each one has several adults soon to emerge.

If you have enough flies to support a sustainable population of these, you've got waaaaayyy too many flies!

That is creepy and cool at the same time...
