[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1748479, member: 17524"] We had Lewis Cattle Oilers. Besides helping to control flies, we noticed lesser problems with lice. I think the oilers during the summer help kill the sucking lice plus get the eggs, thus interrupting their life cycle. We used mineral with IGR as well. Cinnamon-garlic wasn't available then. It was designed to help digest forage better, resulting in weight gain. Then producers started to notice the fly load was less. There really isn't any research to speak of that garlic repels flies. But when customers tell you it does, we listen. If you allow the garlic (or garlic in mineral) to run out, we are told then the flies come back. FWIW. [/QUOTE]
