Beneficial insectary specializing in parasites for fly control. We grow 3 species of fly parasites, Pteromalids, lacewing, Chrysoperla comanche, a general predator, and Lindorus (Rhizobius) lopanthe, a scale eating ladybug. We distribute other insects.
Manage fleas - The larvae of fleas live in the soil, and can be reduced with insect eating nematodes (microscopic roundworms) especially Sc (Steirnernema carpocapse) and fungus that eats insects such as B. bassiana in Mycotrol. Drench into your lawn and areas where your pet hangs out in your garden.

Ant Management - once you find an ant colony you can disrupt it with a digging fork and drench with a mixture of soap and oil or Auntie Fuego mix of: molasses, compost extract or worm leachage, orange oil, and humic acid. then you can bait with borate bait www.rinconvitova.com/ant_bait_ant...

Ant Management - set out solo cups of sugar water (or Pringles potato chips for fire ants) around the area you are scouting and return later or next day and observe the trails. Ants forage randomly but return to their colony in a straight line. Follow several trails to where converge at the colony.

Ants manage aphids like we manage dairy cattle, they put them on your plants and protect them from predators and parasites.
To get control of honeydew producing pests, you have to manage ants to a low level.
Baiting with a boric acid syrup is a low risk strategy

Three Pronged Approach to Fly Control - a complete organic fly control program
1. Reduce fly breeding sites.
2. Reduce the number of adult flies with fly traps and Organic, Fungal Fly Spray
3. Release fly parasites.
Tiny parasitic wasps take out the pupa stage of fly, but don’t bite, sting or swarm.
