| Last year I rotated three different fly sprays. Force in the green, red and blue bottles. Where do you get the B Free of Flies from. I've not seen it in TSC or any place. |

I looked it up after it was posted here and you have to get it directly from the company in TX |

I've not seen it in TSC or any place. I order it online. Several different places sell it. I just watch for sales and who has the best prices at the time. I order enough to get free shipping. Teskeys sells it. I'm waiting for my feedstore to hopefully start carrying it soon! But in the meantime I just search around for the best deal.

Don't inhale it or you will be coughing and gasping for air for 5 minutes LOL. It's the only thing I've found to actually last through an entire ride. Previous to this I was using Pyranha.

| The flairisol sprayer is awesome, it sprays at any angle. I ordered 2 of those sprayers one for my barn and 1 for my trailer and I usually just buy the gallon refill.  |

Location: Kentucky | Not a fly spray. But here in Ky we have ticks bad. I learned online from a vet, a DIY spot on. Great for ticks and works ok for flies. Take a 12 cc syringe, draw up 4-6 cc of mineral oil. Then draw up the rest with permethrin concentrate. Gently shake it to mix. Put it on like you do The Freedom spot on. The knees, the hocks and above the ankles, along their whole topline. Along their mane, base of their tail. Between their ears, between their eyes. Along their belly etc. Works for 2-3 weeks. Is cheap esp if you have mulitple horses! A lot of horse may move around or stomp when you apply it. It's not because it burns them. But it feels funny with the oil moving around. I do their legs first. |

This is a great tip. Thanks for sharing! We have ticks so bad at our place; I'll have to try this! |
