We've used them for years and people always comment on how we have NO flies. I sprinkle the contents of the package on little piles of manure that I specifically place in the front and back of the stalls, three or four spots in the corral and at various spots around the edges of the pasture. I also dump some on the manure/compost pile. Then, I leave those "deposits" for a few days until the predator larva have hatched and I see the tiny insects. Each month, I go through the same routine, and it works like a charm. Good luck with them! If you have any questions, come back and ask me.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-63701609369348240072009-04-24T14:34:00.000-04:002009-04-24T14:34:00.000-04:00Very well said, I couldn't agree more.

Spring feels so good when it finally arrives, and brings with it a sense of peace, renewal and satisfaction at having survived yet another long, hard winter. It is definitely an accomplishment when you have all the animals and the hardships to come full circle to yet another anxiously awaited springtime. Enjoy!!<br /><br />p.s. we are trying the fly predators this year for the first time. Do you recommend them? What has your experience been?C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-80389622231301580222009-04-22T10:17:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:17:00.000-04:00Nice post, I'm still waiting for a decent sign of ...Nice post, I'm still waiting for a decent sign of spring, short of our daffodils!

She's such a sweetheart, hope she's enjoying the warmth of the suns rays on good days.<br />Spring always makes me realize how the renewal of life's cycles seems to start with small things, the birds twittering,the bulbs blooming and hopefully your little bunny returning.<br />For Siete's ears have you tried putting the fly spray on a rag and rubbing it on, that might help get her over dislike of the spray. Hope her training goes well enough for you to ride her by the end of the season, that would be fun!Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-67145074432921443252009-04-21T10:36:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:36:00.000-04:00I'm so happy to hear that Pepper is still hanging ...I'm so happy to hear that Pepper is still hanging in there!
