The first shipment of fly predators this year didn't hatch for a month. The second one was delayed by 10 days for no apparent reason (and still hasn't hatched). When I called and complained they said they would send additional shipment but never did. A separate order of Bye Bye Insects was marked as shipped 2 days after it was charged, and two weeks later UPS has not received the package yet. The UPS tracking status is still "Label created." Tried to call several times today. Same story each time - a few minutes of listening to Eine Kleine Nachtmusik before they tell you to leave a message. Live chat off their website was sitting idle for an hour before I gave up. I'm canceling all my orders with them. There must be other companies out there with more respect for their customers.

I have ordered fly predators from several companies over the years and Spalding is the absolute WORST company I have ordered from. Their first shipment was dead, no signs of life after two weeks, I called to let them know that, they said they'd send a comp shipment pronto, they never shipped it, they admitted it had not shipped when I called them the next month. That next month's shipment also never arrived. We had flies all over the place. I asked each call that someone in the company contact me within 24 hours to let me know they were shipping. They NEVER responded. I cancelled the whole year's subscription and am demanding a refund of the dead early shipments I already paid them. They don't care how they treat their customers and they show utmost disrespect to their customers by refusing to respond to a paying customer when the order failed over and over again.

Most of the shipments received this summer, particularly in June and July where not ready for release (had active adults present in the bags) for many days after their arrival. The flies got a jump on us and we never caught up. Not much bang for the buck this season.

This year the fly invasion is stronger than in the past. House and green heads have been bad. The fly Predators are doing their job. They have cut the numbers of flies down considerably. I have two dogs and garbage from a restaurant next door. This year I had to use Bye/Bye spray full strength, I usually cut it 50% in the past. I have told neighbors of you products.

I have Horses and Mini Donkey's. I have 3 separate areas, I faithfully use my fly predator and they keep the fly population at bay. The life of my animals are better for less stomping of flies.

Spalding Labs is a good company with a great reputation. The Fly Predators I get from them work and make our horses more comfortable in fly season. Spalding has been very willing to provide predators that fit our needs and most of all, they DO work.

As long as I follow the recommended amounts, these predator flies control our barn flies amazingly well. Last year they sent me an email saying it was really rainy where we live (quite true) and suggested doubling up. I regretted not doing so. Otherwise we have had a brilliant reduction in flies. P.S. I also like the way they send email reminders to sign up again and the smooth billing process. A reliable company.

Fly Predators actually work! It's an amazing difference from year to year. Definitely worth the investment!!
