Fly Exterminators - Application

Releasing Fly Exterminators is a simple process. We also offer subscriptions so you can stay on top of the pest fly lifecycle.

INTRODUCTION SITES

You may see large numbers of flies around your animals, but the fly breeding area is most likely to be close to manure areas or other moist, rotting organic matter. These are the areas to release your Fly Exterminators.

Top priority introduction sites include:

  • Barns
  • Stables
  • Kennels
  • Chicken Coops
  • Feedlots
  • Animal Straw Bedding

Other potential introduction sites include:

  • Compost Piles
  • Garbage Cans
  • Septic Tanks
  • Near Water Sources (but not directly in water)
INTRODUCTION FREQUENCY
Introduce monthly during warm months. Heavy infestations may require additional releases.

HOW TO INTRODUCE FLY EXTERMINATORS
Keep Fly Exterminators indoors, in original packaging, and out of direct sunlight. Monitor daily for first signs of movement. Hatching may take 7-14 days, depending on temperature, with the Fly Exterminators beginning to hatch at 70°F. Pupae do not change in appearance after hatching. For optimal results, release within 24 hours of hatching. Wait until temperatures are consistently over 50°F before releasing. These beneficial insects will self-distribute up to 100 yards.
    1. Locate fly breeding sites. Please see introduction sites above.
    2. Sprinkle Fly Exterminators near fly breeding sites and lightly cover to protect from birds and rodents.
    3. Locate other possible breeding sites and repeat.

      METHOD 2: HATCHING BAG INTRODUCTION
        1. Locate fly breeding sites. Please see introduction sites above.
        2. Sprinkle Fly Exterminators in Hatching Bag (included).
        3. Secure the open edge with staples or clips to protect from birds or rodents.
        4. Hang above the ground, away from direct sunlight, near fly breeding sites. Hanging height is not critical.
        5. Locate other possible breeding sites and repeat.
