I have several suggestions. Durvet cream has lanolin and greases the area up so it is not so inviting to flies. Biozide will get crusty when it gets covered with dirt. The crust works well to keep flies off. WARPAINT is a roll-on insect repellent. Haven't used it on the belly but it worked well in ears.

I saw the war paint today, it's pretty spendy. It was $20 for a stick the size of a deodorant. I bought the endure roll on it says it's waterproof and sweat proof.. hopefully it'll help! Going to try some Vaseline as well and of course more fly spray.. I bought the bug guard spray, says it kills and repels gnats.

Have not seen the endure. Warpaint goes a long way. Vet told me not to put petroleum products on my horse so I use Corona or Durvet. Both are lanolin based

Interesting, when I figured out the swat wasn't cutting it, I slathered on corona... it didn't help much either. It's like the stuff just melts off. The gnats seem to peak early in the morning when I'm feeding, they are just swarming the horses. I'm gonna try putting this stuff on tonight when I feed and see if it helps!

Mosquito Halt is doing a better job than anything for me. I have a mostly white Paint whose belly can be a campground for baby flies and knats.

I used the endure roll on last night and it worked! No gnats on their bellies this morning. .. they were still swarming around the horses but not on their under belly..think I'm going to buy the endure fly spray too and see if it works just as well as the roll on.
