More on controlling flies. We are in Wa state and have had great luck using
"filth flies" to control flies around here from three pigs and chickens. A
locally owned business called Integrated Fertility Management
(Wenatcheee,WA) orders these thru the mail for us on a schedule.  The tiny
pupae (sp??) arrive in the mail in a small paper bag. As soon as they hatch
we spread them on the soil where they supposedly eat the manure fly larvae.
This along with sprinkling diatomaceous earth on a regular basis has made a
big difference.  Diane
