Abstract
Muscidifurax raptorellus and Nasonia vitripennis were examined in experimental areas and field-release environments to evaluate their individual and paired effectiveness in managing house fly, Musca domestica, populations. Laboratory-reared and field-collected pupae were evaluated to determine the impact of host type and host location on parasitism rates.
