Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Of course the population has exploded it has been the Rainy Season up that way and flies breed after it rains.
Down my way it was a hot, dry summer and there were few flies until we got a few decent showers of rain, then voila along came flies like tax collectors and my very effective home-made fly traps were working over-time.
If sheep and cattle grazers would only learn to import and let Dung Beetles loose on their properties with in a year or 2 the fly problems would be halved or even less.
Dung Beetles roll up the dung left behind by livestock, bury it and lay their eggs in it, thus there is little or no Dung laying around for the flies to breed in and eat as well.

You obviously didn't read the report.
@FrayedBear Well of course the drought would affect, adversely, the Dung Beetle population just as it did for every other living thing, i.e. fewer animals shitting means less shit for the beetles meands less breeding of the beetles, it doesn't take a bloody genius to work that one out.
But there are Dung Beetle breeders in Australia and now that the north has had its first decent rainy season in years, it is also time to start re-populating the paddocks with the beetles.
@Triphid let the ABC know to pass the news on perhaps?
@FrayedBear Why, they know that already, the ABC did a documentary about advantages of Dung Beetles verus Fly Populations about 3 years ago, didn't you bother watching that either?
@Triphid I didn't have a tv then.
@Triphid Have you considered that the present complainants are softer than previous generations and denying learning from history.
