We also bring these like bug bombs up from the states. We wait till mid day when the flies are the worst, leave stalls dirty, take all the animals out of the barn, close all doors and windows and let these bombs rip. They basically smoke the barn out and kill all the bugs stuck inside. Also want to say, make sure manure pile is away from the barn/animals and that pens are picked regularly and fields are dragged regularly. The flies follow the poop!!!! We also have fans in each stall and they seem to help too. We also buy our the feed store of their fly tape stock and go crazy! Edited by MC1993 2015-03-17 2:44 PM

You have to sprinkle it daily. I just use a flour sifter so its not in clumps. I just read that WD 40 keeps flies off your horse. Could work in a stall too I suppose.
