Fly Control

Fly Parasites, Pteromalids; Small wasps are present in nature along with predators and microorganisms to control houseflies. An mixture of fly parasites are among those that are found in nature to attack several species of flies that breed in accumulation of decaying organic matter, such as manure, piles of grass clippings and edges of compost piles. The wasps lay their eggs inside fly pupae and emerge as young wasps ready to seek and destroy more flies.

	Fly Parasites Fly parasites complete a generation every two to four weeks for a steady increase in fly parasites over the warm summer months. Wasps need to be released each spring at the first sign of flies and periodically during the summer fly season or release monthly for a small number of animals.
