Truly it's Earth Day every day with Fly Predators... Fly Predators were green before green was cool! These tiny beneficial insects kill flies before they emerge, naturally.

They serve as a major check of pest fly populations by destroying the next generation of flies in their immature pupa (cocoon) stage. Fly Predators never become a pest themselves and because of their small size and the fact they live their entire life cycle on or near manure (where the pest fly pupa are typically found), Fly Predators go virtually unnoticed.
