All this tells us is how to remove fly’s. Real “Horse Fly’s” don’t respond to fly sprays. The are a sight insects. How about telling us how to remove “Horse Fly’s”? I don’t have fly’s on my place. I have a proven plan that I do year round so that I don’t have fly’s, these methods don’t work for the real “Horse Fly’s”.

Any one have ideas on how to keep flies from the horse. My horse is such a BIG baby and he complains if there is one fly on his legs…he stomps his foot and swishes his tail like you’ve never seen before. It’s really hard to ride to when he is acting up. The person who had him before me globbed fly spray all over him when they rode. I can’t afford to buy 10 bottles a week!! Any ideas

I try not to use any pesticides. I use citronella, vinegar, water & skin so soft and it works great.

One cheap fly trap is where you take a 2-liter bottle.Cut it off right above the label (if its a soda bottle) Turn the funnel upside down and staple it in there.(take off the lid) Put water and a little bit of soda in there. Done, cheap, easy and effective.

i have a great tip for fly control!
maybe once or twice a week clean out your pasture of all poop flys are attracted to poop and cleaning the pastures will eliminate alot of flys!
