I'm like drock, I have back rubs with deisel and fly repelant... do you use that instead of the insecticide and still mix in deisel? Thanks!  Post a Response

Re: luck with flys Posted by ohio on April 20, 2008, 8:09 am, in reply to "luck with flys" 96.230.67.43 I started using the Rite Now mineral from cargill with IGR in it that doesn't let the fly eggs mature. it's a little expensive but it worked good to help reduce pinkeye,foot rot and flies. they will still have a few flies but definitely not as many.  Post a Response
