Fly Parasite Hatching Station
- Buy 5+: $17.55
Product Description
The Fly Parasite Hatching Station makes releasing fly parasites simpler and more reliable. It gives the pre-parasitized pupae a safe, shaded place to develop and emerge, protecting them from ants, birds, and harsh weather so more of your beneficial wasps survive to hunt filth-breeding flies around stables, barns, dairies, and compost areas.
Why use a hatching station
Fly parasites manage fly populations in stables, barns, farms, dairies, and compost areas, but in the open they often meet predators and unfavorable conditions. The station provides a controlled environment where the parasites can hatch and develop securely, which raises survival rates and overall effectiveness.
Setup
Pour the contents of your parasite pouch into the station and hang it in a shaded, protected area, away from direct sunlight and predators. This simple step significantly reduces parasite loss and improves the results of your fly-control program.
Available sizes

Tips for best results
- Placement: Position stations near feeding areas, manure piles, compost bins, and other known fly breeding sites.
- Routine checks: Monitor and refill the stations on your scheduled release cadence.
- Integrated approach: Combine parasite releases with good manure management and fly trapping to get the most out of each release.
