Fly Predator Update

After smashing and mashing and crushing, as well as brushing and sweeping, most of the 5000 little fly predators are gone from this now "fly free" zone. Spalding, the vendor for Fly Predators suggested all the little creatures in the house could be vacuumed up and discarded, which has worked well so far. Since the fly predators live on manure, (as in horse manure) and as a general rule we don't have any laying around inside our home, the little fellas will die off within 24-48 hours. While yesterday was creepy, today is much better. Read about how they got away here.

Spalding Fly Predators are a terrific product created to sprinkle around outside animal manure pens, piles, and/or droppings to eliminate flys. It really works well, when used as intended and outside there are no flys, thanks to this product.

Thank you Spalding.
