NATURE'S FLY CONTROL!

Our Fly Wranglers (A.K.A. Fly Exterminators) are a predator to 95% of flies, including house flies, lesser houseflies, horse flies, filth flies, bot flies, biting stable flies, and various other fly species.

Less complete on the false stable fly, face fly, flesh fly, and horn fly since these species complete their life cycle widely dispersed in pasture.

 

PEST FLY GUIDE
Knowing what's bugging your animals is the first step to solving the problem.

Horn Fly
A small biting fly that feeds on the horse's back, causing irritation and blood loss. It reproduces in undisturbed cow dung, so no cows, no horn flies.

House & Filth Fly
These flies are often found on your horse's face, attracted to the moisture in the eyes. While they don't bite, they can spread bacteria and parasites, posing health risks for horses.

Horse & Deer Fly
Large flies with powerful bites that cause extreme pain and blood loss. They breed in saturated soil, mud, and the margins of water, and can travel long distances, increasing the chance of disease transmission. Fly Wranglers do not target horse or deer flies.

Biting Stable Fly
A blood-feeding fly that targets the legs and belly, causing horses to twitch and stomp in discomfort. It also reproduces in spoiled hay, round bales, and decaying vegetation.

Bot Fly
Lays eggs in areas the horse can't reach with its mouth. The larvae burrow into the horse's mouth or stomach, causing irritation and potential digestive issues. Fly Wranglers do not target bot flies.

 


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SHIPPED FRESH & QUALITY GUARANTEED

A natural way to control flies that is people, pet, and planet safe!  

Protect your pets from fly-borne diseases with our Fly Wranglers (A.K.A. Fly Exterminators). Delivered in the parasitized pupae stage and ready to hatch, these nocturnal fly predators effectively reduce pest fly populations by targeting the larval stage of various fly species. These ant-sized insects fly inches off the ground and do not bite, sting, swarm, or bother humans or animals.

Fly Wranglers will begin hatching 7-14 days after delivery, depending on temperature. Reduction in fly population should be noticeable approximately 3 weeks after hatching.

Even if you're managing fly breeding sites effectively at your own farm or garden, flies from nearby areas can still pose a problem. These are known as "migrating adult flies." Using fly traps and baits can reduce their population. Poison baits typically won't harm fly parasites unless placed directly in the fly breeding site. You can also apply residual sprays to areas where flies commonly rest, such as walls or beams. However, use caution when spraying near parasite release zones, as it could unintentionally harm the beneficials. Keep in mind that flies can quickly build resistance to chemical treatments, so use them strategically and sparingly.

      HATCHING PRO TIPS

      • Keep Fly Wranglers (A.K.A. Fly Exterminators) indoors and in original packaging. Monitor daily for first signs of movement. Hatching can take 7-14 days depending on temperature. Pupae do not change in appearance after hatching. For optimal results, introduce within 24 hours of hatching.

      • BENEFICIAL NEMATODES
        For maximum fly and flea control, release Beneficial Nematodes-Sc with your Fly Wranglers! Click Here to learn more!

      • Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.

      • Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.

      HATCHING RELEASE BAGS

      FREE HATCHING RELEASE BAGS INCLUDED WITH EVERY ORDER



      PROTECT YOUR FLY WRANGLERS!
      Every order includes hatching release boxes to keep Fly Wranglers (A.K.A. Fly Exterminators) safely out of reach from birds and rodents. Our hatching release bags are beneficial for a number of reasons: 
      • Target Application - The Hatching Release Bags are designed to ensure controlled and targeted application of the Fly Wranglers.

      • Easy Introduction - Hatching Release Bags provide a contained environment for the hatching and dispersal of Fly Wranglers. These tiny parasitoids are smaller than an ant and can fly out of the release bag after hatching. 

      • No Mess - Hatching release bags are designed to minimize cleanup efforts, eliminating the need for post-application cleanup or the handling of potentially messy substances.
      HATCHING RELEASE BAG PRO TIP
      Hang Hatching Release Bag out of direct sunlight. Height is not critical, but must be hung off the ground to protect from birds and rodents.

      APPLICATION

      INTRODUCTION SITES
      You may see large number 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 Wranglers.

      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 WRANGLERS (A.K.A. FLY EXTERMINATORS)

      Keep Fly Wranglers 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 Wranglers 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. Fly Wranglers will self-distribute up to 100 yards. 

        1. Locate fly breeding sites. Please see introduction sites above.
        2. Sprinkle Fly Wranglers near fly breeding sites and lightly cover to protect from birds and rodents OR sprinkle Fly Wranglers into hatching release bag and hang above the ground, away from birds and rodents.
        3. Introduce Fly Wranglers at other possible breeding sites.
        4. Introduce monthly during warm months.


          STORAGE
          For best results, introduce immediately upon hatching. If storage is necessary, store unhatched pupae at 39-45°F for no longer than 5 days. After hatching, adults can be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for no longer than 3 days.
