TAKING CONTROL
Depending on the issues that you have at your yard, Bye-o-Fly® has a number of different products to help you get flies under control. The first two products mentioned below arrive in cardboard tubes for easy scattering in specific areas.
Bye-o-Fly® P is our primary fly control product. It consists of two tiny indigenous parasitoids of stable and house flies. These species are two of around 9,000 species of wasp naturally occurring in the UK, and are the most commonly used in biological fly control worldwide today. They are not harmful to animals and humans.
These mini-wasps reproduce by laying their eggs inside the pupae of nuisance flies, stopping the development of the fly because the young wasp feeds on the contents of the fly pupa. As a result, instead of a fly, a new mini wasp will hatch from the pupa, thereby continuing the cycle of fly control. A female mini wasp kills around 100 fly pupae during her lifetime. Bye-o-Fly® E is particularly useful for severe fly infestations when a quick response is required. This product is a predatory mite that attacks the eggs and larvae of pest flies and gnats. The species is native to Europe and is found naturally in many habitats. Again, it is completely innocuous to animals and humans.
Bye-o-Fly® Bucket Trap works in conjunction with the other Bye-o-Fly® products to provide a fully integrated fly control system. Sometimes with severe infestations there is also the need to trap breeding adults. This innovative baited design attracts, traps and kills adult flies in outdoor areas.
