Do flies drive you
crazy? We think that the most natural and actually most effective way
to prevent them from being a huge nuisance is by using the Spalding Fly
Predators. Check out the website at http://spalding-labs.com/ to learn more about them. The web site is informative and ordering is simple. To summarize how it works, you go online and enter the number of horses you own and your zip code. Then you are sent a shipment (in New Gloucester it is 5 shipments over the summer). Each shipment contains thousands of tiny larvae fly predators. You sprinkle them on and around your manure pile. When they hatch, the fly predators target your house and barn fly eggs so that your population of flies will be greatly reduced. It has certainly worked for us. If you use the Maine Equine Associates Reseller ID #95521 at the end of the customer order page the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals in Windham will receive a rebate check at the end of the season. We have decided to send this check to a well run equine rescue center each year. This year we have picked the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals in Windham as the recipient. Whether or not you enter the 95521 number the price of the fly predators is the same, so the price will not vary, but you will be helping the Society as well as markedly cutting back on your fly population. |
