Spalding Fly Predators During my first two summers of Pygora goat ownership, flies were a real nuisance in my barns. I hung MANY, MANY fly tapes trying to give my goats some relief since I wasn't interested in using chemical pesticides. I was so pleased when I discovered Fly Predators! They work great, and are a natural alternative to tapes and pesticides.
