[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1569589, member: 5381"] Seeing that you are a Texan, this is what I think being the same. They just don't last long enough in our climate. As you have read and probably are experiencing, we already have flys. So what a rep told me and what seems to work best is to wait until mid summer to apply them and just use spray now plus an IGR mineral. Using them now means by June they are not working at all. Consequently by June the flys start getting immune to the spray so tags with a different ingredient should work better. We also need a tag in each ear to get full benefit. Late summer, go back to the spray. Its either that or replace them every couple of months which gets expensive and takes a lot of labor if you have more than a handful of cows. [/QUOTE]
