If Fly Parasites Reproduce, Why Are Periodic Shipments Needed?
The reproduction cycle of fly parasites helps greatly; but their reproductive abilities do not occur in required quantities to keep flies in check in “rich fly producing environments like farms, zoos and diaries (where there is lot of manure, dead animal matter, etc.). Flies also are more reproductive than fly parasites. One adult fly can lay enough eggs to produce up to 1000 flies. Periodic shipments and regular application keep flies reproduction from reaching stages that become difficult to manage.
