I’ve been killing flies for awhile now. Horses, and flies go together like....whatever. My corrals aren’t the source of flies anymore, and haven’t been for a long time. Some flies manage to get by. I clean the corrals everyday, and spray them down with Permethrin 38.6 spray. It works. As far as fly bait I find the Maxforce the best. I make my own bait stations that only flies, and bugs in general can get into.
Life is so much better when one keeps the place cleaned up, sprayed, and baited. Flies suck.
What are these predators? Here in NW Arkansas it’s fly hell!
Spalding Labs sells a fly predator that is a very tiny, harmless to humans and pets, fly larva killing wasp.
