[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 219545, member: 9"] We've tried several approaches over the past 5 years: Fly blocks with IGR, wipes, loose IGR in some feed, etc. None were highly effective for us, despite the claims of the manufacturers' labels. Couple of years ago we switched to the Bio Remedies line of cattle and horse minerals & horse feed. These products have a lot of natural ingredients, including seaweed, that are also anti-oxidant items and lots of good minerals and vitamines. Their manufacturing plant is in Abilene, TX., and their products were formulated by a Ph.D. livestock nutrition chemist. Their delivery route primarily serves TX, OK, Ks and ??. Their man operates out of Garden City, KS. Do a Google search for "Bio Remedies". Products are more expensive than the generic tubs, blocks; however, highly effective (for us anyway). [u]Since we started using their products, our horn fly problem has decreased significantly[/u] for both our cattle and horses, not doing near as much hand spraying with fly insecticide on animals that we used to. Good success with your fly control! [/QUOTE]
