Fly Parasite Release Stations

Polypropylene plastic mesh cylinder to safely hold fly parasites for release, can be hung with bail, strapped onto a pipe or hung on a screw, hang 3-5 ft above ground. Place small handful of FP in each container each shipment. When full, empty and start over. Place cylinders around fly breeding sites, near where fly maggots are found, every 100 ft or so, 5-10/acre.Station protects FP from predators, birds, being trampled under foot, so your fly parasites – FP may continue to emerge over 3 week period.

Estimating Numbers of Fly Parasites to Order

A standard FP10 unit contains a minimum of 10,000 fly pupae from which 20,000 adult parasites will emerge. Factors affecting recommended numbers of parasites: numbers of flies, amount and wetness of manure or other organic matter for fly breeding, temperature, humidity, naturally-occurring beneficial controls, incoming migrations and use of bait traps. Starting guidelines are based on 500 to 1,000 parasites per large animal per month depending on concentration or amount of manure. Use two parasites per small animal per month. Double up when fly problems are severe and cut back when the parasites are well-established and the weather is cooler and drier.

Odor is the way many insects locate food and sites to lay eggs. If you control odor from decomposing organic matter you can decrease flies attracted to scatole from fermenting manure and alcohols from fermenting sugars. Also, consider animal health and worker comfort in areas with strong odors. Odor can be a sign that a biological process has gone wrong and can benefit from some managerial attention.

• Change conditions (i.e. drying) to stop decomposition.Shift decomposition process, such as with acid, inoculants, or composting, away from anaerobic microbes that live without oxygen and produce bad odors to aerobic microbes that need oxygen and give off pleasant odors.
• Intercept and neutralize odors in the air (see Bioworld Odor Neutralizer below).

For larger quantities use 1-2 lb with 5 gallons liquid
