Fly Control — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to control flies around horses?
Effective fly control is layered. Manure management and eliminating standing water remove breeding sites, while fly sprays, feed-through products, traps, automatic misting systems, and physical barriers like fly masks and sheets each handle different parts of the problem. No single method does it all, so combining sanitation with one or two control products gives the best results.
How do feed-through fly control products work?
Feed-through products are added to a horse’s daily ration and pass through the digestive tract into the manure, where they interrupt the development of fly larvae before they can become biting adults. They reduce the fly population breeding in manure but do not repel flies that travel in from neighboring properties, so they work best alongside good manure management and topical or environmental control.
What are fly parasites and are they effective?
Fly parasites are tiny beneficial insects that are released around the property and naturally reduce fly populations by attacking fly pupae before they hatch. They are a non-chemical option that works gradually over the season and is most effective when started early and combined with manure management, since they target flies at the breeding stage rather than killing adults on contact.
