Fly Eliminators Customer Testimonials

Thank you to all of our Fly Eliminator customers and especially those who have told us how well our fly parasites have worked.

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club horse racing facility in San Diego County has been using parasitized fly pupae biological fly control from ARBICO since 1985 with great success. Each summer nearly 2,000 horses and hundreds of thousands of race goers converge on this community to live, eat and play, making fly control a top priority.

This aloe horse spray is awesome. I find it works better than any other fly repellant, even Endure! Also, the parasites appear to have worked well for us this year. We will definitely buy them again next year. Also, your customer service representative who helped me with my first order (for the parasites) was excellent--very helpful and informative. Thanks for your good service.

My barn owner is amazed at the significant decrease in flies this year while using the fly parasites. We have two horses as well as 7 pigs and everyone has noticed the absence of the flies, so I'm sure we will be using the fly parasites from now on. Thanks for a great, safe product and an alternative to chemicals in combatting the flies.

Due to a severe neck and back injury I was unable to start with the fly parasites this spring. The flies are horrible this year. Last year we never needed to spray the horses or put the fly mask on. Thanks for a product that truly does what you say. We will never miss a spring shipment again.

I've been using the little fly parasites for years. A simple way to put it is, "They Work"! I'm in a very hot climate and have never had an order not hatch. The shipments are very well packaged. ARBICO staff is easy to work with and provide a high quality product that works. Lots of info on the website and well written instructions. I use the fly predator program as well as the solar fly traps. The traps work very well They are washable and sturdy and will last for years.

I have been using your Fly Eliminators for several years and am always delighted that my “town” friends have more flies than I do out here at the farm. One year my husband said I shouldn’t bother getting these spendy “bugs” because we “didn’t have flies” You can imagine by the end of summer he had changed his tune and thinks they are a REALLY good investment in keeping a nice farm where potential new miniature horse owners visit. I have friends who don’t have “bugs” and I am always amazed by the fly populations there. I generally feed at eight at night so on bug day I stroll around and throw bugs and hay in the same trip. I am very satisfied with the results even if they are “spendy” I have no idea how much I might spend on repellents, barn sprays etc. The only time I use repellents is when we are away from home. Thanks for such a good management system.

Hello Arbico: I wanted to let you folks know how much I love your fly parasite program. I have used it on my horse farm for two or three years now. I have absolutely NO barn flies and I have five horses that live in the hot and humid South. I still have what I call "helicopter flies". They are the very large (as big as my thumb) flies that only bother horses and cows. But, the nasty little barn flies? None, nada, zip. I also use your mosquito dunks and the crystals-aquabac in my ponds and drainage ditches. I have so few mosquitoes, my friends just don't believe it. This is the first year I haven't had to spray what I consider toxic chemicals on my horses to protect them from flies and mosquitos. Your products have done a wonderful job!

Just wanted to send a brief note to say how pleased we are with your Fly Eliminators! It's our first month of using them and what a significant reduction in the fly population around our barn. We actually began seeing a significant reduction in the amount of flies around our barn in 4-5 days. As you suggested, I spread them around our muck pile, in our horse stalls, and the outside grassy areas by the barn. It's only been 3 weeks and the amount of files is very minimal now. We must have a reduction of 90-95% in the fly population. What a great relief! It seems rare these days, that you use a product that meets all of the advertising promises, however your Fly Eliminators do! We have a barn of 11 horses without any type of fly preventative equipment. Our North Carolina summers are hot & humid and your Fly Eliminators are making our time spent around the barn with our horses much more enjoyable instead of always swatting flies from your face.

Thanks very much for a superior product! We look forward to using Fly Eliminators throughout our Southern fly season! Thanks again.

Arbico has been a joy to purchase from. Received the fly parasites very quickly with good instructions on how to release the little guys. Every time I e-mailed them, I received a friendly response right away (very important to me). I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for an alternative to toxic fly controls.
