[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 104116, member: 539"] Hey all! Got a question - the flies are horrendous since it's gotten so hot. We have put out fly predators, but they won't do anything about adult's. I have fly trap's and fly bait distributed in strategic positions around the place, but cannot use insecticides as they will kill the predators. Until the traps/bait start to make a dent, I'm considering a fly mask for Legs (our horse). What opinions/experiences have all of you had with these? I have had a couple of people tell me not to leave them on for 'any length of time' (not sure what that is defined as), as they can 'cause a horse to go blind'. Is this true? I have learned the cheat grass + fly mask lesson, and that is not a problem in this scenario. Help!! [/QUOTE]
