Muscidifurax raptorellus, Muscidifurax zaraptor, Spalangia endius, and Spalangia cameroni are tiny wasps that don’t bother humans, but parasitize the pupae of many species of flies found in areas with livestock, breaking the life cycle of the flies. For cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, use 300-500 per week/month per animal. For other animals, please ask for recommendations. Begin release program as soon as the weather begins to warm up. Release every 1- 4 weeks during all warm months, generally March or April (once temperature reaches 80°F) through October. For later starts, double the rates for the first 2 releases. Use in conjunction with PVF&GS Fly Trap for best results.
Price includes delivery via Priority Mail (US Postal Service) either to your mailbox, or to a Post Office box. Insects are sent out Monday through Wednesday. Place your order at least 3 business days in advance of desired shipping date. Unless you specify otherwise, we will send your Beneficial Insects on the next possible shipping day. You could also request delayed delivery in the Order-Specific Comments box.
These creatures will die if left in direct sunlight or in a rural mailbox on a hot afternoon, or in cold weather. We only guarantee viability if someone accepts and inspects the insects immediately upon delivery. You must contact us immediately upon delivery if you suspect a viability problem. Because of this, often the best address to use is a work address. If the Post Office is instructed to leave the package in a cool, safe place and it’s for a short period of time, viability should not be compromised, but cannot be guaranteed. If no one is available and no instructions have been left, delivery may be re-attempted the next business day. However, viability may be compromised and will not be guaranteed.
