Overview
Why We Love This
Fly Stoppers™ are the smart way to make your farm a no-fly zone! These tiny, beneficial bugs stop adult pest flies from developing by feeding upon and breeding within the developing (pupal) stages of manure breeding flies.
Fly Stoppers™ work by seeking out their target host – the fly pupae – and depositing their eggs inside them. These eggs then hatch and begin to grow and feed on the developing fly, thus stopping the adult pest fly from hatching. Once mature, the Fly Stoppers emerge from the fly pupae to look for a mate and the female Fly Stoppers™ continue to lay eggs in fly pupaes.
While Fly Stoppers™ reproduce in approximately three weeks to replenish the beneficial insect population, pest flies do reproduce at a faster rate than Fly Stoppers. That’s why Fly Stoppers must be reintroduced to your property on a regular basis. We recommend releasing a shipment of Fly Stoppers™ every three to four weeks throughout fly season for maximum results. If you order them on AutoShip, you’ll save 5% on every shipment and you won’t have to remember to reorder every month!
Please note: Hatching can take up to 10 days, and Fly Stoppers like to be warm and cozy before they hatch. Wrapping them in a pillow case and storing on top of a fridge or hot water heater can help!

Instructions
Instructions for Use:
- Fly Stoppers are shipped via US Mail as parasitized fly pupae in wood shavings.
- When received, check for evidence of hatching.
- Once a few have hatched, simply disperse small handfuls or scoops around your property into "hot spot" breeding areas, such near manure piles, under water troughs, below bedding, the corners of pens and paddocks, and feeding sites.
- Cover with dirt to protect pupaes.
- If you do not see movement within the bag, you can speed up the process by placing the bag in an old pillowcase and setting it on top of your hot water heater or refrigerator. Make sure you check them every day for fly parasite activity.
- It may take up to 14 days for hatching to occur at various time during the fly season.
- You can release the Fly Stoppers before they hatch; however, they must be covered with a thin layer of manure or ground cover to prevent birds and ants from consuming the unhatched fly parasites.

So far so good!
So for a point of reference I had been using a competing brand for years. I decided to try Fly Stoppers. they have worked out very well. I have not experienced a drop off. this will not get rid of all flies but it will reduced them. Of course you still need to provide manure management. That said, I'm a happy customer.

Better than fly predators
Very happy with these guys. They hatch exactly as they are supposed to l. Last summer I did 1 bag of Fly Predators every 4 weeks, and honestly wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. This year I changed to the Fly Stoppers, dosed for 6–10 animals which got me 1 bag, and have them delivered every 3 weeks. I’m shocked at the reduction in flies and am super satisfied with the results.

Premature hatch?
Hope they work. They sure made a mess in my house. I opened the mail envelope and little creatures fell out on my desk, floor, etc.

Really wanted them to work!
Can’t tell they are helping at all. First bag never hatched second hatched and they all escaped the bag and were all over my house. Third bag seems to be in a lot of spider webs (that I knock down daily).

Not Consistent Hatchers
I started using these last year (2022) and they seemed to help. However, come August, the bag I received never hatched. SmartPak was helpful and offered a replacement. Sadly, the replacement never hatched either. Throughout the rest of fly season, it was hit or miss whether the bag I received hatched. So far this spring I have received two bags - both have not hatched. When I tried to request a refund this time I got an error message. I canceled my subscription and will try fly predators.

Working so far!
They seem to be working so far! The bugs are very tiny, might be a little hard to see when they start hatching. SmartPak is great to work with. Thank you!

I'm sure they would be great if they hatched
They did not hatch unfortunately. Maybe it was a defective couple bags.

Huge difference!
I rarely take the time to leave a review, but the Fly Stoppers are worth my time.
In the summer of 2021, the flies in my barn were horrible. So, I decided to that I didn't have anything to loose and decided to try the Fly Stoppers in 2022.
There were flies, you could never eradicate them all, but they were not the nuance that there were the previous year. In 2021 we would have the whole ceilings covered in flies, this never happened in 2022 with the Fly Stoppers.
Follow the instructions and use them as directed and you will have good results.
I highly recommend them and are ordering them again this year!

Hit or miss
I received 4 shipments and was so excited after the first one. The flies really seemed to be well controlled. Every subsequent order (3 of them!) failed to hatch or had very little activity compared to the first order. The flies came back full swing. I followed the directions on the packaging and it just didn't work out for me.

Inconsistent Quality
I've gotten these delivered a few times now. The first batch was great. The second, they arrived as normal but then all hatched and died in a day. I looked at them in the morning, there was a little bit of activity and I planned to release them when it got a little warmer. When I looked again, they were all dead.
