Spalding's website, delivery and instructions are incredibly easy to navigate and use. Their product dramatically reduced the flies at my farm with horses, goats and chickens. I highly recommend Spalding and their simple summer subscription for fly control.
Never did I expect to be outside with my animals and not see a single fly in the middle of summer but after using fly predators for a few months that's exactly what happened. Towards the end of summer I started to have a big issue with only horn flies, when I mentioned it to customer support I got a phone call right away with advice and suggestions. I'm happy and my cattle and horses are happy.
We've used Spalding fly predators for several years now as part of our fly management program. They have significantly added to fly reduction on my 37 acre 12 horse property especially when used with facility spraying and feed through supplements. Working with Spalding is easy and they can easily customize quantity and shipments to meet anyone's need.
The fly population at my place is so much lower than that of friends' who do not have predators. Definitely worth the investment. I make sure one of my shipments goes along a shared property line with neighbors who are not livestock owners,. Good fences, good fly control, makes neighbors, right?
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable. Made recommendations on how/when to use the predators. The PRODUCT WORKS! We have since moved. But we already placed our order for the upcoming fly season. I highly recommend this product.
I had a couple horses and milked 12 goats for a few years. The milk process drew a lot of flies in the barn. Those big fly strips are so gross. A friend recommended fly predators to me. What a game changer. I got on a schedule and had predators delivered from April thru October here in Michigan and my barn was almost fly free. Of course manure management is crucial too but those little predators are amazing.
Used the fly predators for 2 or 3 years. Flies were minimal. I thought "Do they really work?". I skipped a year. Dramatic increase in flies! Believe me, I learned my lesson. Began using fly predators again 2 years ago and will continue as long as I maintain horses on the farm.
I've been using Fly Predators for many years. One year I didn't renew and what a difference! Now I renew early to take advantage of a discount. My "boys in the barn" are much happier when I use Fly Predators.
We have a farm with horses, goats, ducks, and chickens. We've been using fly predators from Spalding Labs for 2 full seasons now, and will continue to do so for as long as we own a farm! Our fly population has been drastically reduced. The horses are so much more comfortable, as are their people! The company is super easy to work with, deliveries are prompt, and their products work!
I have been using fly predators for close to 20 years and I believe they've made a difference at my farm. The wad very flexible when I needed to upgrade or change my order. I like having fewer flys without premise sprays. Highly reccomend this product.
We've gotten parasitical wasps from Spalding Labs for years because they have proven to be the best protection from summer flies. Spalding delivers on the dates desired and offers specials from time to time.
We raise 2 pigs each summer, along with year round population of 3 horses, 5 cows, 3 goats, 10 chickens, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Using this product, flies were WAY LESS last summer (2021). We are using it again this summer (2022).
Have been a customer for over ten years. One year I didn't get any and was that ever a mistake. The fly predators are not only a value in themselves but also cut back on use of chemicals around the house and barn! Try them… you won't be disappointed! My horses thank me every year
We began using Fly Predators in 2006 when we lived in VT. We had 5-7 horses at any one time, with a total pasture area of about 10-acres. The results were great. Following their directions on how to order the proper quantity is key, and the manure management tips they provide also helps. Since moving here to CT about 10-years ago, the results have been even better. I definitely recommend over-ordering - meaning if you have 2 horses and 3-acres, order the amount listed for 3-4 horses and 5-acres - that kind of thing. Especially in the first few months of using the product. Apply the Fly Predators as directed, don't skimp, and stick with their program. You'll have great results. Our horses never have to wear "fly masks". Our neighbors are very close (their deck is only 100-feet from our barn) and they always comment on how they never have any flies. You'll still likely need to use a fly spray during the heart of fly season, but this product always performs. We've tried others a few times in the past, but Spalding Labs is BY FAR the best and best value for the money.
This season will be the fifth year we will have used Fly Predators. Having horses that are comfortable is important to us and I can tell when we are due for another application when the tails start swishing again - the tails tell.
Ordering is easy with the subscription as I sign up and forget about tracking orders. Spalding adjusts for season, temp and geographical location automatically.
Each year we use the predators we get better results. Given the cost of fly spray, let alone applying to horses sometimes twice or three times a day, the Fly Predators product actually does save us time and money.
I've been using fly predators for many years on my place. Usually have have a few head horses. Back in the day I was in the country but now have millions dollar plus houses next to me. If I ever have any complains I'll say, "I use fly predators".
Thanks for your product.
No one gets more excited about spring, summer, and fall than horse people, and everyone dreads "fly season!" I no longer dread fly season thanks to Spalding Labs Fly Predators. I've been a customer since 2015 and cannot even imagine life around the barn and pastures without the fly predators.
I have three equines and prepare for fly season in four ways: #1 Order fly predators early. #2 manage my manure/compost pile. #3 spread the manure in the pastures regularly. #4 stock up on fly spray and fly ointment.
One of my geldings has fly bite allergies and Spalding Labs Fly Predators have made a HUGE difference in managing his allergies.
As a lifelong horse owner, I have the mindset that we are in a constant state of learning - about nutrition, husbandry, riding, hoof care, etc, and keeping the barn virtually fly-free is a top priority! I want my horses to be comfortable year-round, not just when it's time for fly spray!
I have been satisfied every year with these predators and will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come!
I've been using fly-predators for many years, and Spalding Labs has become my go-to source. I can personalize the delivery schedule, the prices are great, and the predators have kept the fly population around my barn to a manageable level. If I ever have a problem or question, it is answered immediately and professionally. I love doing business with Spalding Labs.
We have a small farm with 10 pigs, 2 horses, 6 cows and a dozen or so chickens. We have been using this product for 3 years now and it works great. I have less flys that find their way into the house. I don't have to worry about chemical with the animals and they are all much more comfortable. Overall we are very happy with this product.
I only had to have alpacas for one summer season to know that I needed something to help control the flies. After having the Fly Predators for just a few weeks - NO MORE FLIES! My animals are healthier, safer and happier because of it too. I never use anything in addition to the Fly Predators - there's no need. No fly strips, topical treatments - Nothing! The other great thing is the customer service provided by Spalding. Always helpful and accommodating. If the weather throws off the fly population, like it's extra wet and/or hot, you can request an adjustment to the shipping schedule. And they offer great advice if you are having any fly troubles. I've been a customer since 2013 and will continue to be!
Answer: No. Good company to deal with. Good service and product.
