[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1747075, member: 24986"] Well, it's horn fly season here in North Central Texas. I bought four heifers that were just covered with them. I had been using Wind and Rain with Fly control (Altisod or s-methoprene) which does a good job but is expensive. I recently bought Amdro's mosquito control "bombs" for my water trough. When I checked the ingredients, guess what? The active ingredient is s-methoprene (Altisod) the same active ingredient as in Wind and Rain and Justify. It controls mosquitos through IGR. I ran some numbers and this is what I found. The Altisod in wind and Rain costs about $446/oz. The s-methoprene(ie. generic Altisod) in the Amdro mosquito control bombs cost $128/oz. I may run an experiment and just use the mosquito control to give the same s-methoprene dose through the water trough and see how it works. BTW- I did spray the poor girls with Permethrin head to hoof to give them some immediate relief. [/QUOTE]
