[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1747089, member: 17524"] Are you saying the Higher level of magnesium has an affect on flies? I realize people say Garlic and cinnamon does, but why pay for the Hi Mag if it isn't needed for grass tetany? There really is no research proving garlic/cinnamon helps control flies. If you see less flies, it is because it repels flies, it does not kill flies or interrupt the life cycle of the fly as IGR does. (The larvae hatch prematurely and die). Our customers that have used the cinnamon/garlic mineral say they can tell when the mineral has run out in the tubs because they see more flies. Were they repelled and did they come back? I have no idea. It takes 2 weeks from the time you put IGR out to see a reduction in flies because that is how long it takes to interrupt the life cycle. It is a really good idea to keep IGR in front of the cows until a freeze so that the flies don't overwinter and hatch in the spring. Start early and feed the IGR til late fall, you will see less flies in the spring and you have better fly control. [/QUOTE]
