[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1133037, member: 3162"] There are herds all around mine. And herds adjacent to them etc. Flies are an extreme problem every year. You are never sure what neighbors treat with and when they treat. If I were you I would spray them completely with permethrin. That will get the flies off of them, for now. Spray their undersides and ensure they are completely covered. Loose mineral with IGR as Dun said would be another immediate remedy I would use. Fly tags help but they are not enough. They are merely an aid and you need to rotate brands for effectiveness. Rubs are good. You can buy rolls of burlap pretty cheap at a store that sells sewing materials. Wal-Mart even sells it. I like to put a good soaking material on a post firsts then cover that with burlap. An angled post seems more inviting to them as a rub. Injectable wormer gives protection but you have to time it correctly for grubs. As Dun said. Don't think you can treat them and be done with it. Think of it as mowing the lawn. Gotta be done again and again. [/QUOTE]
