Large: tubes containing 9,000 pupae
Small: tubes containing 4,500 pupae
For the biological control of stable flies (Musca domestica) in pigg stalls with semi-liquid manure cellars. The larvae of the predatory flies feed on the stable fly larvae.
The predatory fly larva in instar phase 3 is capable of destroying the stable fly larva in instar phase 1.
To maximize the effectiveness of Biofly it’s necessary to avoid spilling of food. Manure which is too dry slows the development of the predatory fly because it lays its eggs at the interface between wet and dry. By regularly wetting the manure, you will more quickly achieve the desired effect. However, the manure should not be too wet either and there should always be a thin crust.
Efficacy reduces at low (under 15°C) or high temperatures (higher than 38°C).
