fly's are already out there harassing my horse! seems early this year. maybe not. keeping his stall clean. sprayed him down before I rode yesterday and they where still bothering him. what does everyone use to keep flies out of barn and off of their horses?

dy-fly works the best for me. the horseflies were so bad last year I had to resort to fly blankets, getting fly boots this year in hopes to save their feet some.

I clean my stalls first thing in the morning while it's still cool out. Flies are just starting to congregate here. After I clean I spray down the walls with pyranha aerosol . Doesn't take much but it sure has made a difference. On the horses I use tri tech. I like it because it has sun screen in it too. Seems to work good on repelling. I wish I could afford an automatic fly spray system in my barn but I usually just get one of those auto spray boxes and we hang it on the wall in each horses stall. Helps keep the flies in check too. And it smells nice !
i hang plastic baggies with water a drop of dawn soap and a couple reallly shinny pennies and that completely repells all the flies away from my stall. i literly have no flies in or around my stall!!
