[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 563388, member: 1683"] JMichal- I agree that you can't get rid of hornflies. But I will second the comment that dun made about stopping for a while, and then see the increase in the pests! To make a reduction in numbers is a large step in reducing the annoyance to the stock, and that is a worthwhile benefit. Tests have shown that using different "attacks", as you mentioned above, is the correct approach. Because flies have multiple "generations" hatched in a short period of time, they genetically build resistance to almost every approach that we use, which justifies multiple methods of elimination. They also migrate from your neighbor's - who probably aren't being as diligent as you are in fighting them! When Adam succumbed to Eve's 'Apple Offering', God condemned Man to exhaustive labor to make a living. Genesis 3: 17-19. I am sure that "Flies" are a part of that curse! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
