Does the liquid cattle Ivomec repel flies?  No tick problem here but I have
a gray gelding who has trouble with fly sores when he's in pasture.  He must
taste like sugar to those flies.  They can eat a really big spot in just one
day and then of course it's hard to keep it covered with Swat long enough
for it to heal.

Additionally, it is just as effective given orally, and is the same dosage.
