[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1754498, member: 28912"] The mineral and tubs contain a chemical or insecticide called IGR (insect growth regulator) that is harmless to the cattle and passes through their system and is left deposited in their manure. The flies lay their eggs in the manure and the IGR disrupts the life cycle of the fly. Bear in mind it does not affect the adult insects very much, but it does the eggs, larva, and pupa. You will have to wait for the adult flies to die a natural death. I have no idea about IGR's safety on pigs, chickens or rabbits. Maybe one of the Vets on here will chime in on that. [/QUOTE]
