Title: Biting flies Post by: Swine-Stalker on April 03, 2018, 09:37:45 am Those pesky biting flies are back for the summer. They usually get my light colored dogs ears pretty bad but noticed a few others getting hit and some sores coming up. Has anyone tried using the Python cattle tags? I picked up a box yesterday and plan to try them out this evening... just looking for a few pointers. I read up that they help with flies, fleas, ticks and possible mosquitoes.

Cut em in half poke two holes about 1/2 " apart and use a zip tie around collar. 1 tag will do 2 dogs. I read somewhere not to use on lactating ,bread bitches or puppies. But they do work ,I use the purple.

Spray em and when you see a fly land on your dog, time to spray em again. Endure will keep ticks and fleas off me too. And you’ll notice, you may at first, have to spray every 2-3 days, but after a few weeks of that, you’ll see flys not landing on them until 5 and then 7days after you spray.

Title: Re: Biting flies Post by: Amokabs on April 17, 2018, 07:53:24 pm I agree with make em squeal too. Been using FLY PREDATORS for over 5years, and they keep the flies down to almost zero. I spray the dogs with ENDURE mostly for ticks and fleas, but any flys that do make it past the FLY PREDATORS, the ENDURE keeps em off the dogs
