Parasitic Wasps for pest (fly) control??

[AGeese]

If I were you, I’d just call a pest control service to get rid of them. Anyway, it would be more effective, I guess. I have a friend who works at https://enviropcs.com.au/, who advised me to do pest cleaning once or twice a year instead of buying wasps. Anyway, it’s up to you. Btw, how’s it going now? I’m curious about it. I’ve seen some videos of wasps attacking the flies, and it actually surprised me. Btw, can these wasps attack you? What to do to prevent it? Keep us updated on your issue. Waiting for your reply. TIA

I seem to recall seeing one attack a fly this was a 2 or 3 years back, but I think that was the reason I wanted to try them again. Regardless they go for the pupae. They are very tiny and they fly close to the ground and don't bother people, but are kinda pricey.

Bumping this thread.

I came across these wasps while shopping for other things and thought I'd try them. I'd never heard of them and was just trying to keep the coop cleaned out and used fly traps.

I put them out last week and today there are zero flies around my coop. If it was the wasps they worked much faster than expected.

I put them in the coop, around the coop and in the compost pile.
Just thought I'd post about it in case anyone wanted to hear another experience.

My parsley plant that went to seed last summer attracted lots of tiny wasps to the garden. I think they were some type of parasitic wasp.
