Get a death grip on flies where they love to breed and feed — horse barns and kennels — with the help of natural insects that eat them called Fly Predators. These tiny insects are harmless to animal life and feed on the fly’s pupa (cocoon) stage of development. They do not attack the adult pest flies. Thus, the adult flies currently existing must either be removed by supplemental methods or tolerated until they live out their short life span of about 21 days.
During fly season, you must repopulate fly infested areas every 30 days with a new supply of recruits that will be mailed directly to you from Spalding Fly Predators. From the website, read all recommendations carefully on how to handle your fresh supply of these little exterminators. You want them to be alive and hungry when you release them!

I was just recently looking into natural ways to help with roaches and also found a wonderful fly trap that I plan on using in our backyard this summer. It is called Flies Be Gone and it’s made by Safe Solutions Inc. You can find it and other Natural Pest Control options at: http://www.safesolutionsinc.com/Non-Toxic_Pest_Control.htm
They also have a free online book that is quite extensive about how to control pests naturally called “The Best Control 2.” You can find that in the Resources section of their site. I cannot tell you my results so far, as The Roach War of 2009 has just begun this week, but I learned a lot from this book and have high hopes that I will be able to stay committed to the natural approach this year.
Hope this is a good resource for everyone else too.

Fly Predators work great. I have less flies around the horses and barn since I started using them three years ago.
I also make a homemade natural fly spray:
Avon Skin so Soft, Vinegar, Eucalyptus Oil and Water. Works great and makes the horses smell great !
