Maintaining Parasite Population While Diminishing Fly Population Pesticide Sprays Avoid using pesticide sprays around the fly parasites as you will eliminate them as well. Use caution when spraying for adult flies, keeping spray applications a safe distance from fly breeding areas such as manure. Manure Management Proper manure management is crucial. Excess manure promotes fly reproduction rates; however, complete removal of all manure at once is not advised, as the fly parasites establish themselves by hunting for hosts in such areas. When cleaning manure areas, alternate rows, or clean-up only half of manure. Allow a minimum of two weeks to lapse before cleaning the remaining half. Doing so will minimize the disruption of the existing fly parasite population, as their reproduction rate is 2 to 3 weeks. On average, they live for 3-4 weeks. Over time, releasing fly parasites at 2-3 week intervals results in a more consistent population of parasites. Water Management Effective water management is also a critical factor in eliminating flies. Wet manure, straw, or other organic matter create breeding sites for flies. Tall weeds and vegetation can allow areas to remain wet longer and also may conceal potential fly breeding habitats such as manure or old feed. Periodically check water sources for leaks and overflows. Maintaining Balance and Control In some cases, the parasites can be so effective that there fails to be a sufficient amount of fly pupae to host future generations; thus, periodic releases are recommended to maintain balance and control. For optimal fly control, parasite applications should be released once a week for the first few weeks. Thereafter, releases can be made every 1-4 weeks apart. In areas where fly development continuously occurs, multiple releases of fewer parasites may provide the best fly control coverage. THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
