Where do you buy your fly predators?

I was wondering where everybody buys their fly predators. I would assume that they are the same product but what about the best price? I think I am going to try some this year. I only have 3 cows and about 70 chickens right now (until butcher time for the roosters ) The flys weren't too bad the year before last but last year they were pretty bad around the cows. I put DE over the chicken manure under the roost a couple times a week and it helps a whole lot. I have an add here from Spalding but was wondering if anybody buys them from someone else. Thanks

What Species of Trichogramma Wasp are these "fly predators"?

I called Kunafin and asked them how much they were and how many thousand were in the batch (their website doesn't say). They told me that they had two sizes one was $15 + $12 shipping and the other was $21 + $12 shipping but told they don't say how many thousand just that compare to a "cup" full from other companies they sell a "quart". My thing is with so few animals is it worth it for me to spend $27 or $33 when I can get 5000 from Spalding for $18.45 inc. shipping. It is hard to compare apples to apples when everyone else sells them by the thousand. Spalding says that 5000 will handle 1-5 horses so that should be enough for me but I have never used them and maybe some feedback with the amount of animals and amount of predators that everyone uses would be helpful. Thanks again.
