I snapped a few BEFORE and AFTER photos today. Maizy BEFORE: [IMG]http://www.heritagejersey.org/chatroom/uploads/2014/08/pest_control-1395.jpg[/IMG] Note the red area behind her foreleg (below) where the tiny barn flies (AKA black flies) pictured here (different and much smaller than house flies and vicious too!) like to dine on her blood.

The spray lasts a day and then I repeat it the following day. It takes 20 minutes to do about a dozen animals. I prefer it over the chemical fly sprays available in feed stores. We also avoid any outbreaks of house flies by using fly predators throughout the summer (source for those also in my book). [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
