[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2277"] Here in Georgia the last two summers were terrible because of the flys. I would spray by hand every 5 days, and never did get control: used backrubbers, changed the type of insectacide, no effect, etc. This year we are trying Moorman's IGR high mag mineral. IGR is insect growth regulator. Not a larvacide like Rabon, but prevents the larva from going on to the next stages towards becoming a flying fly. I am amazed that we have hardly any flys this year - so far. By this time last year we were in "fly heaven." Yes, you need to start feeding it way before the season starts. Yes it is expensive like $30 per 50 lb bag, a little over twice that of plain high mag minerals. For me, it is worth it - less work, cows are content and I'm a happy farmer. [/QUOTE]
