You might try that, leaving a little of the manure to deposit the fly predators in. The 'friendly flies' seek out the nasty fly larvae when they hatch. They travel a fair amount of distance looking for lunch - can't remember if it's 100' or 100 yards. I even scatter some around my indoor arena. I do also hang the sticky fly strips to catch the occasional nasty flies that do manage to survive. Gayle Ware Field of Dreams Eugene, OR www.fjordhorse.com
