[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1250609, member: 18945"] Most Tractor Supply stores sell the rubs and flyps. I've made replacement flyps out of old teeshirts--towels do not work well--they fray badly and birds will tear them to shreds for nesting material. If you are not familar with the rubs, it takes about 2 gallons of mixture for the first "charge--put the flyps or strips on before applying the insecticide mixture. I do it with a garden sprayer with the nozzle cover removed. Takes a while to do it the first time---they're really thirsty. Do NOT allow them to completely dry out and start absorbing rain water--much more difficult to get them to take any petroleum based product once they absorb a lot of water. When fly season is over, take 'em down and store them out of the weather and sunlight till next season. Some people that use a lot of rubs just drop them in a vat or other big container with the insecticide mix in it and let the rub soak it up. [/QUOTE]
