Spalding's website, delivery and instructions are incredibly easy to navigate and use. Their product dramatically reduced the flies at my farm with horses, goats and chickens. I highly recommend Spalding and their simple summer subscription for fly control.
Never did I expect to be outside with my animals and not see a single fly in the middle of summer but after using fly predators for a few months that's exactly what happened. Towards the end of summer I started to have a big issue with only horn flies, when I mentioned it to customer support I got a phone call right away with advice and suggestions. I'm happy and my cattle and horses are happy.
We've used Spalding fly predators for several years now as part of our fly management program. They have significantly added to fly reduction on my 37 acre 12 horse property especially when used with facility spraying and feed through supplements. Working with Spalding is easy and they can easily customize quantity and shipments to meet anyone's need.
The fly population at my place is so much lower than that of friends' who do not have predators. Definitely worth the investment. I make sure one of my shipments goes along a shared property line with neighbors who are not livestock owners,. Good fences, good fly control, makes neighbors, right?
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable. Made recommendations on how/when to use the predators. The PRODUCT WORKS! We have since moved. But we already placed our order for the upcoming fly season. I highly recommend this product.
I had a couple horses and milked 12 goats for a few years. The milk process drew a lot of flies in the barn. Those big fly strips are so gross. A friend recommended fly predators to me. What a game changer. I got on a schedule and had predators delivered from April thru October here in Michigan and my barn was almost fly free. Of course manure management is crucial too but those little predators are amazing.
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.

Used the fly predators for 2 or 3 years. Flies were minimal. I thought "Do they really work?". I skipped a year. Dramatic increase in flies! Believe me, I learned my lesson. Began using fly predators again 2 years ago and will continue as long as I maintain horses on the farm.
I've been using Fly Predators for many years. One year I didn't renew and what a difference! Now I renew early to take advantage of a discount. My "boys in the barn" are much happier when I use Fly Predators.
We have a farm with horses, goats, ducks, and chickens. We've been using fly predators from Spalding Labs for 2 full seasons now, and will continue to do so for as long as we own a farm! Our fly population has been drastically reduced. The horses are so much more comfortable, as are their people! The company is super easy to work with, deliveries are prompt, and their products work!
Answer: No. Good company to deal with. Good service and product.
