Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the old fashioned on purpose podcasts.
It's fly season y'all and it isone of my least favorite things
about living on a homestead.
They are everywhere, they'rerelentless and they're not going
away any time soon.
In today's episode, I'm divinginto four natural fly control
(00:25):
strategies for your homestead,whether it's big or small.
And if you listen until the end,you'll also hear me share my
dirty little secret of what Ihave in my kitchen that I
usually hide before companycomes over.
I'm your host Jill winger andfor the last 10 years I've been
(00:48):
helping people just like you whofeel uninspired by modern life,
I'll teach you how to leave therat race and create the life you
really want by growing your ownfood and mastering old fashioned
skills.
So we've had a weird springslash summer still feels like
(01:12):
spring because we're having alot of rain and cooler weather.
So our flies are a little bitdelayed, but they're coming and
I've seen them sticking to myhorses legs and they're starting
to buzz around my house and tryto dive bomb our food.
So I know that the war hasbegun, and if you live on a
(01:36):
homestead or even if you've everjust been to a farm with
animals, you know that flies arereally just a fact of life.
They come with a territory, andwhile I don't think there's a
way to completely eliminate themfrom homestead living, there are
some things you can do todiminish their power without
(01:58):
relying on nasty chemicals orpesticides that potentially
could harm beneficial insects oreven your family.
So in this episode we're goingto dive into my four favorite
natural fly control strategies.
Let's get started.
Okay, so number one, this one'sa really cool strategy.
(02:21):
I'm not going to say this iskind of weird to say.
I'm not going to say that I havea hundred percent proof of how
exactly it works, but for theminimal investment it requires
in the fact that it's reallynatural, I think it's a pretty
cool option, or at least fun totry.
And this is drum roll, please,Fly predators.
(02:43):
And if you've never heard of flypredators, they're like a
parasitic fly.
So basically you're fighting thebad bugs, Aka flies with good
bugs, Aka predators.
And I really like this conceptbecause it controls flies before
they ever hatch and doesn'trequire any sprays or chemicals
(03:05):
to do so.
In a nutshell, fly predators areactually parasitic wasps and
they are a natural enemies offlies, but they don't bother
people or animals.
And they work by actually layingtheir eggs in fly PUPA.
(03:26):
So in, you know, they kind ofstart or they stop the process
before it starts.
They eliminate the flies beforethey ever have a chance to
hatch.
Now according to someinformation I found on the
organic agriculture center ofCanada, and I quote, parasitic
wasps can remove, excuse me,parasitic wasps can contribute
(03:50):
to 50% less flies when used incombination with adequate manure
removal, end quote.
So they're not going tonecessarily get rid of every fly
you have, but they should reduceit considerably.
Now it's kind of crazy how touse these guys, so you have to
mail order them.
(04:12):
I get mine from a place calledSpalding labs.
They have this really coolcalculator tool on their website
that helps you to figure out howmany fly predators you need
based on how many animals youhave.
So I'll drop a link to Spauldinglabs in the show notes, but you
order some predators and theyship them to you in this little
(04:35):
baggy.
And most of them are, this lookslike little cocoons and they
come in this bag of shavings andyou'll just let the bag sit
sealed up for a few days untilthe little predators start to
hatch.
And they just look like littletiny flies and they're crawling
around in the bag really crazy.
And then once they starthatching, you open the bag and
(04:57):
you sprinkle them around in keyspots around your barn yard.
So the manure piles, like Iwould always put it near our big
compost pile.
I would put it in the cornerswhere there was a manure buildup
cause the animals would, youknow, go and stand there all the
time.
And then the adult predatorswill feast on the Pupa of the
(05:19):
flies that you don't want andyou in turn get a fly relief
program that doesn't requirepesticides.
So that's pretty cool.
One little caveat.
Chickens do like to eat thePredator pupa.
So try to put them in an areawhere your chickens don't have
easy access cause it's a prettypricey chicken snack if that's
(05:43):
all they're good for.
Now if you want to try predatorsand you know it's mid summer or
late summer where you live, youmight need to wait until next
year.
It's best if you can startreleasing them early in the
season and then you just do afew more releases throughout the
summer.
The cool thing with Spalding isthey will time it for you and if
(06:07):
you want, when you order, youcan specify when the different
shipments go out.
So there just show up in yourmailbox throughout the summer.
And again, it's pretty hard toknow exactly how the predators,
how effective they are because Ican't exactly go count how many
flies I had last year and howmany flies I had this year.
(06:27):
So there's a little bit of agray area, but I figure for the,
the cost, which is pretty low,it's gotta provide some benefit.
And I just like knowing it's anoption that I can use that
doesn't require spraying.
Okay.
Strategy number two is not quiteas exciting as flight predators.
(06:50):
It's a little more work.
And that is manure management.
It's a simple equation.
Less manure equals fewer flies.
And we know that manure is justa fact of life when you have
animals.
So what we do with it is key.
Flies adore Poop, plain andsimple, especially the wet
(07:12):
stuff.
So do whatever you can to removeit or reduce it in your barn
yard.
Here's how we do this and we'renot perfect at it, but we try.
Of course regular barn or pencleaning is going to be a huge
help in reducing your flightnumbers and then mount the
(07:34):
manure that you clean out ofyour barns or pens into a large
enough pile, far enough awayfrom the barn that it can heat
up and start that compostingprocess.
As that manure or compost willheat it makes it a less
hospitable spot for flies to layeggs and also gives you that
(07:54):
gorgeous compost that you canuse in your garden.
You can also spread your manureor compost in a thin layer in
your pasture.
We usually borrow a manurespreader to do this.
You know, we use a lot of thecompost in the garden.
We usually have way more than weneed.
So spreading it out ensures thatwe're not giving any sort of
(08:17):
breeding ground for flies.
And it also helps to fertilizethe grass.
And then lastly, if you have alot of pasture ground dragging
your pasture, and we do thiswith a tractor, we do not do
this by hands, but dragging thepasture breaks up the manure
piles that are out there, driesthem out and helps reduce places
(08:39):
for flies to lay eggs.
So again, none of those thingswill be a foolproof method to
reduce every fly you've everhad.
But working together you cankind of create a program that
will make your property lesshospitable for those flies.
Okay, strategy number three,homemade fly spray.
(09:01):
Now this isn't going tonecessarily reduce the numbers
of flies you have, but it canhelp give your animals some
relief because in the latesummer around here, all of our
animals just are plain miserableas they attempt to fight the
flies.
And that's when I break out myDIY fly sprays and use them
(09:25):
liberally.
I'll do this when I like numberone, milk the cow in the
morning, I'll give her a goodspray down.
I do it when I'm working with myhorses, you know, riding them or
out in the pasture with them.
And when I think of it and Ihave my bottle with me, I spray
them down as much as possible.
You can definitely buy flysprays at the feed store that
(09:48):
are effective.
I personally don't love those asmuch because of the pesticides
they contain, especially when itcomes to my milk cow, you know,
I spray her with fly spray,there's kind of a cloud of spray
that lingers around her and thenI get under her to milk and that
(10:08):
cloud is kind of wafting into mybucket of milk.
Just don't love the thought ofthat.
And even when I spray my horses,the wind will always blow some
in your face or get in yourmouth.
You can always taste it.
So I just don't really love thethought of eating the
pesticides.
I prefer it a homemade morenatural option instead.
(10:32):
I've actually tried a number ofDIY recipes over the years for
fly spray, but I found that amixture of water, vinegar and
essential oils are actually myfavorite.
And I have a recipe that hasspecific amounts for this and
you can grab that for free.
(10:52):
In my essential homestead ebook,I'm going to link that in the
show notes so you can grab it.
But in a nutshell, what I'll dois take a quart size spray
bottle, fill it half full withvinegar, apple cider or white
vinegar.
Either one will work and fill itthe rest of the way with water.
(11:12):
I then add usually between 60and 80 drops of essential oil.
It sounds like a lot, but Ifound that you really need to
make a higher concentration ofoils in this mixture because you
know it's mixed in four cups ofwater.
We're spraying it on an animalwith for some of it's going to
(11:33):
float away and so we really wantto have a good amount of oils in
there so they can do their job.
You can really get creative withthe oils that you use in this
mixture.
I have found that the moreherbaceous oils seem to work the
best.
So things like basil, thyme,Rosemary, Eucalyptus, or
(11:57):
Melaleuca, all work really well.
You could also throw in somelavender just so it doesn't
smell quite so strong.
Those herbaceous ones are prettypotent.
The one I would caution you tobe a little bit careful of is
peppermint because even thoughpeppermint does a great job of
repelling insects, I've noticedit really can make my animals a
(12:22):
little bit, uh, nervous orhigh-strung.
It has a tendency to wake uphumans as well, which is good.
But when I'm working with ahorse, I really don't
necessarily want them to befeeling a super, you know,
frazzled or energetic.
And I've noticed that peppermintcan really kind of upset my
horses on occasion.
(12:43):
The milk cow, not so much, she'spretty calm, but if you have
higher strong animals who aremore sensitive, I probably would
skip adding the peppermint intoyour fly sprays.
Okay.
My last strategy for dealingwith flies, the natural way is
(13:04):
to trap them.
So flight traps and yes, indeed,those lovely little golden
sticky tape strips are amazinglyeffective, especially when
you're trying to reduce flies ina small area such as a barn or a
chicken coop or your house.
(13:26):
And you know, that dirty littlesecret I referenced at the
beginning of the show.
Well I always have a fly striphanging in my kitchen in the
summer.
Usually I tape it to my pendantlights, that hang over my
kitchen islands, and it will befilled usually within 24 hours.
(13:47):
I do have to be very careful notto get it stuck in my hair while
I'm cooking.
That has happened more timesthan I care to recounts.
But it is a huge game changer tohelp the flies get out of my
house.
And you know, whether or not Itake it down before company
comes over, just depends on howwell I know you.
(14:11):
If we're BFFS it'll probably behanging there when you arrive.
It's a just what we have to doto survive in the summer here on
the homestead.
Even though they're not superfun to look at, fly strips are
really effective and they'redirt cheap.
You can grab them on Amazon, butyou'll probably find them for
(14:32):
even better prices at your localfeed store, hang them from your
ceiling, hang them from a windowand change them often cause
they're gonna fill up fast.
You can also make your own flytraps or grab pretty cheap
plastic fly traps at the localfeed stores.
I have a link on my blog of howto make your own trap that I
(14:55):
will share in the show notes,but it just uses an old pot
bottle that you cut and flip thetop upside down and it makes a
little bit of a funnel to trapthe flies inside.
I like to fill my traps with amixture of water in something a
little bit sweet and a littlebit rotten.
So get some banana or watermelonthat is past its prime.
(15:18):
Let it float in that water andthe flies will not be able to
resist.
None of these things are goingto be a quick fix solution like
I stated before, but those arejust a few of my best strategies
for fighting the war on flies inthe summer.
Depending on your area or whatsort of animals you have, you'll
(15:43):
likely develop your own planover the years as you figure out
what does and doesn't work foryou, may the odds be ever in
your favor as you battle thebugs this year, and that's it.
