They will not crawl all over you when being handled as with ants, nor will they migrate into patios, kitchens, or any other living quarters as pest flies do. In fact, since they live their entire life cycle on or near the manure surface, and because of their small size, Fly Predators go virtually unnoticed. Highly Effective Fly Predators have been proven highly effective by both scientific tests and in actual usage in a wide range of applications, including dairies, poultry farms, horse stables, mushroom farms, wastewater treatment facilities, or anywhere flies breed in decaying organic matter. When properly managed, Fly Predators will self propagate in the process of destroying the pest fly in its immature pupa stage. Although pesticides do offer a good initial knockdown of adult pest flies, in just a matter of a few days a new generation of pest flies has emerged, resulting in a fly problem that is just as bad if not worse.
Pesticides are ineffective against the pest fly's immature stages.
They attack only the end result of the pest fly's life cycle, the adult. Thus, it is virtually impossible to interrupt their reproductive cycle with conventional methods. Because pest flies rapidly develop resistance to pesticides and a single pest fly is able to lay up to 1,000 eggs which take as little as 6 days to emerge into egg laying adults, the use of pesticides requires continuous heavy spraying. On the other hand, Fly Predators interrupt the pest fly's reproductive cycle before it starts. The female Fly Predator seek out the immature pest fly while it's in its pupa stage and lays from one to seven eggs inside the pupa case.
