Re: [RC] fly control suggestions - Sharon Levasseur

What about one of those propane-based mosquito-magnet type traps?  (Do they trap
more than just mosquitos?)

Anyone who wants to suggest industrial-strength fly sheets is welcome to... I'll
be waiting with bated breath!  (No, I didn't mispell it.

DEET if I can help it.  ;-)

*so far only black flies and mosquitoes are a problem here*


Quoting Amy <scharmen@xxxxxxx>:

No flies yet here in MI, woohoo, but they're probably coming.

My horse wrapped his tail around a tree last summer, yanked and broke his
tail, as in has no use of his tail at all anymore.  So no fly swatter.  I'm
trying to figure out what to do for him for fly control.  Suggestions would
be appreciated on ideas for at home in the pasture and also any ideas for
what to do when riding.  I'm thinking of a fly sheet, but have no experience
with those or blankets/sheets of any kind, so not sure which companies are
good or what to look for in a sheet that will stay on, breathe, etc.  I have
free range poultry to hopefully help with the flies, but I guess that means
I can't use the fly predators.
