[QUOTE="CowguyTN, post: 1132145, member: 22372"] Rabon does not kill dung beetles. You may see fewer dung beetles ... But that's because Rabon kills fly larvae & dung beetles are in manure to eat fly larvae. If the larvae have been killed, then the dung beetles fly to another pasture to look for dinner. HOWEVER, even if your dung beetles have flown the coop, so to speak, researchers saw no difference between manure breakdown in pastures where cattle were fed Rabon or where they were not fed Rabon. There was no difference at 8 weeks or 9 weeks, & another study showed no difference at 6 weeks. This is because there are other tunneling insects that are burrowing through manure. [/QUOTE]
