[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1454975, member: 839"] Cowbirds will eat a fair amount of flies, however, the birds cannot control the flies. I'm not sure where, near C'Ville you are,(I'm in Greene County) but flies have been horrid this year. And with the almost 90 degree temps and high humidity we've been having lately, they seem to be multiplying even more. I've been spraying my cows, fairly regularly to give them some relief. This year I've been using Permethrin, emulsifiable. There is no one "cure-all" for flies. I wish there were. The birds, like bats with mosquitoes, certainly help, but they can't do the whole job.
