according to the book I just got,

"The muscovy is a voracious omnivore that is particularly fond of insects. For years, some Canadian Farmers have sworn that a few muscovies took care of all fly problems on their farms."

It goes on with great deal of scientific data about the number of flies eaten in so many minutes...and percentages of population of flies put under control by muscovy ducks in such and such a time.

I was impressed and since the ducks aren't like geese who will bite the livin daylights out of your calves when you turn your back I thought perhaps they might really be helpful.

I'm thinking of getting some myself.
