[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1501244, member: 24816"] For several years I have used fly tags, my parents used oilers soaked in diesel fuel and an insecticide mixture to try to control flies. I have started feeding a mineral with IGR this week, and am wondering if others have found that to somewhat effective. Also from what I read about various IGR products they mention for control of horn flies, however one article stated for face flies as well because both kinds lay eggs in manure. If it controls face flies that would be a major plus. I have always heard that if neighbors don't feed it then it doesn't work well, and I have heard and read conflicting information on whether or not flies travel very far. I have been feeding a chelated mineral and if I make the commitment to feed the IGR mineral mix, would that be much of a step down in terms of overall mineral effectiveness and quality? [/QUOTE]
