I just saw this stuff at TS and impulsively picked it up and bought it. Obviously this wont cancel out the need to fly spray totally I'm sure, but maybe it will be a big game changer for us?!
It's a great premise and I have recently moved pastures next to cows with some tree coverage also so the tick protection is key for me! Let me know your experiences?! THANKS :)

I applied this to my horses last night, they were getting beat down during the day yesterday. they sat in their stall all night and i DIDN'T fly spray them this morning. The other horse in their pasture that doesn't have the freedom 45 on has a fly mask and fly sheet is swishing his tail like crazy, shaking his head. My boys have been quiet all day. the occasional tail swish but standing their quietly! so excited about this product!! We will see how long it lasts!

I didn't think it helped too much with flies...but, when I had a tick problem it was a huge help. If we get a bad tick season I would definitely purchase it again. Hopefully you have some luck with it for flies!
I don't think anything helps great with flies other than trying to minimize fly problems to start with. Of course that's easier said then done when you neighbor has pigs and zero cleaning skills...lol...so yeah, I constantly battle the flies.
