Fly Control
How to Get Rid of Flies Naturally
The most effective fly management strategies use "Integrated Pest Management (IPM)" programs. IPM integrates monitoring for pests, cultural methods like manually removing pests, physical barriers, biologicial control, and targeted chemical treatments as necessary. NaturesGoodGuys offers natural fly control to treat fly infestations and prevent future generations.
ABOUT
Flies are a common household and agricultural pest that reproduce rapidly and can contaminate food and spread disease. Decaying organic matter, food sources, and moisture attract flies. Flies can transmit bacteria and pathogens, making them a serious health concern for both humans and animals.
Adult flies are annoying, but the larval stage (maggots) is where flies cause the most damage. Eliminating the larval life stage is the most effective approach to prevent fly infestations. IPM with beneficial insects offers a sustainable solution that protects animals and people without chemical pesticides.
LIFE CYCLE
Flies have rapid life cycles that allows populations to explode quickly. Depending on the species, flies can complete their life cycle in as little as 7-10 days.
Egg stage - Laid in organic matter or other breading sites such as manure and compost.
Larval stage (Maggots) - Feed and develop in decomposing material
Pupal stage - Transforms in soil. This iis the critcal control stage where Fly Wranglers target devoping flies.
Fly Wranglers are effective against 95% of flies, including houseflies, biting stable flies, garbage flies, and lesser houseflies, and many more Filth Flies. These tiny flying insects are completely biteless, stingless and do not bother humans or animals. Fly Exterminators go virtually unnoticed, only flying inches off the ground. They infect the fly pupae to stop the reproduction of more flies.
You can reinforce your beneficial insects population by using Beneficial Nematodes such as the SC and SF beneficial nematodes for fly issues. Beneficial Nematodes parasitize a wide variety of common pest insects including the maggot stage of flies.
You can also use traps to catch and trap the adult flies and help break the life cycle.
