We’ve received the most wonderful comments over the years as folks discover Organic Cowboy and fly parasites. One example from a client in Texas – “ We have been using fly predators for our horses and cows for years and when we switched to Organic Cowboy we saw a huge reduction in our flies. They are sent more often than other companies and the quality of the larvae seem to have a much higher hatch rate. We had these little guys everywhere on our property doing a great job!” K.R.
Those comments are greatly appreciated and they come from boarding and training facility owners, breeders and just everyday horse owners. They all have one important thing in common, and that is the health and welfare of their horses. Fly control is a part of that. You’ll find insights in the sections below especially in the conversation with Kevin Meyer – a well respected trainer in Wyoming. It’ll provide you the proper framework to optimize biological fly control in your unique setting.
We also see that folks refer to fly parasites as fly predators or eliminators, they are the same thing. They are parasitoids and like a predator kill their target prey and in this case fly parasites destroy their host. With that said, the species of fly parasite used in your program is important. We stick to the species that have proven field-trial data that support their efficacy generated the USDA and University studies.
