The areas where there are the most flies are not in the chicken barns but in the cool tool rooms. I'll save your post in a folder and start ordering next spring. Thank you!

<<Did you find one company cheaper and or more reliable with delivery?>>
I'm pretty sure it was Arbico from whom I got my fly predators. I don't think there's a major difference (in prices or arrangements) between them and Spaulding, they were simply the one I came across first--and since they seemed good I stuck with them in subsequent years. Delivery was regular, and the predators began to hatch out promptly as described. (They come in a bag or packet, looks like shavings with fly pupae--when some of the little wasps begin to emerge from the pupae, it's time to scatter them wherever. If the weather's hot, they may already be emerging when the bag arrives in the mail.)
I think a few of the livestock supply companies also retail them. No idea if there's any benefit, or extra cost, associated with that.
