A method for treating equine manure involves contacting the manure with sodium bisulfate, preferably at a level of at least 50 grams per square meter of surface. The sodium bisulfate is preferably applied at least once per week. Another embodiment is a method for treating the manure with a material to reduce the pH of the manure, preferably to a pH less than 5. A related embodiment is a method for treating the manure with an acid to reduce the number of flies in the area around the manure, preferably to less than 25% of the number of flies in the same area without the treatment. Another embodiment is a method for treating the manure with a material to reduce the ammonia level in the air above the manure to less than about 2 parts per million.
