WD40 for flys

[42acres]

Has anyone ever heard of spraying WD40 on cows to keep the flys off them? I read it in an email.

Well, I've never heard of it, but more importantly, why would you want to use it? There are a lot more effective fly sprays on the market to use.

Had an old neighbor man used to spray that stuff on his joints when they were sore; but I would not spray my cattle with it.

I have heard that never done it, have killed a few wasps in a bind with it. WD40 is great for taking tar off a vehicle.

At 18.00 a gallon, who could afford it? :shock: Besides, it's probably 85% Kerosene.

To be kind, I'll just say that the notion of using WD40 for fly control is a ponderously ridiculous idea. Hey, but don't take my word for it.

I thought it was primarily fish oil?

I've used WD40 and a bic lighter to get rid of a yellow jacket nest.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!

I don't know about flies, but I tried it one time for sand gnats and it didn't work.

Someone told me the other day that WD-40 was good to treat pinkeye with. I never heard of it used for that before and I,m curious if anyone else has.
