Re: Biocontrol/Flies

[SomDayRnch@aol.com]

  I started using biocontrol for flies Dec. '98.  I started with a mega dose 
and continue to spread larvae every month  like clockwork. I  truly don't 
anticipate to see a change in a year.........I live on a rim canal and the 
wetlands are directly behind my property. I am presently using Spalding Labs 
for larvae....unfortunately, as I undertand it, this larvae is for the 
generic black fly, housefly.  Not for the creatures I am also experiencing 
here in the swamp.......some of which look like they  just came out of a "B" 
movie.....like those old Japanese horror flicks.  Anyway, I am hoping that 
the fly larvae will help somewhat over time.  There used to be another 
company  ....which may have been called " Biocontrol" ( go figure) anyway , I 
can't locate them again, but it would be nice to do so. They would discuss 
your type of fly problem and recommend the types of "Bio" treatments and the 
amounts needed based on your envriroment and problems.    I did use garlic 
for two years, from Springtime , Inc.  My horses and dogs loved it, but I saw 
no change at all in the flies, fleas, or summer itch problem , so I am now 
using bugs!  I would continue with the garlic if I could afford to do 
so......just can't.
