I didn't know dryer sheets worked for mosquitoes. I've been using them to keep ticks at bay.

Some origin info and better pics http://bugguide.net/node/view/85598

I've only worked at two different places so far. The first place was a lovely facility and the owners were great folks. They treated the barn crew like family. They ran a tight ship but I admire that. One boarder would come and lunge the owners young stallion occasionally and one day she asked...

If you own or work for a boarding facility or even rent out your own personal stalls, I want to hear about your "Boarders from Hell" And Boarders, if you have a fellow boarder who seems oblivious to Barn Etiquette, I want to hear about that too. Of course, please change names or if they've...

Tiger - Barn Cat Age - unknown " is it dinner time yet? "

Well, my days of sawdust are over. Big Boss just filled the bedding shed with pine shavings again... :he Only because its "cheaper". I'm not entirely convinced that it is cheaper, when you think about how much DOESN'T fall through the tines of the pitchfork. ...not a huge fan of shavings

Oh, um by "nobody *here*wants to discuss anything" I mean here on the farm, I am very glad that yall are willing to discuss these kinds of things!

True, but yall pointed me in the right direction. I don't know squat about minis, and apparently boss lady didn't know too much more than me. And you showed me how to play the cards that are in my hand, so to speak. You guys are awesome! Seriously! Nobody here wants to discuss anything, it's all...

:gig. Hey if it works I wouldn't give a ratzass what the neighbors thought. Me and all the horses will look fabulous! Lol might have to change the barn colors too!

Ok folks, just want to say thank you one more time for all of your help! I talked to boss lady today and relayed all of your info and advice. I told here that I was concerned, put all the cards on the table, we discussed the home pregnancy test kit and she's on board! She was also not aware of...

I'm afraid it might enough to stop traffic :lol:

:ep holy crap! I never even would have thought that there were home tests!!! That is awesome! The price alone might help me convince boss lady to do something about this! So she can take the next step and do what's best for the mini cupcake or at least to know its not too late to separate her...

What we use now is kind of a sawdust, the feed store we go to has it bagged up for $5, I love it! Cuts stall cleaning time in half. We used to get big fluffy shavings and I totally agree, Huge PITA! Its more expensive and wasteful. I'm on the fence about pelletized bedding, its easy to sift...

http://www.bucas.com/products/fly-sheets-and-speciality-rugs/buzz-off-zebra/ Anyone else convinced? I think its fairly priced considering the research that went into this product. What do yall think?

Does anyone have any successful home remedies for deterring horse/biting flies for us two-leggers? Down here in Florida we have too many kinds to count, the typical golden brown-ish kind, florescent yellow-green ones, even some the size of golf balls that sound like little helicopters when the...

All we have is horses and chickens. Ive only ever used pelletized and shavings. I've heard of several other options but I've never heard of anyone actually using them.

DE is still new to me, we don't use it at present but after seeing that its a main ingredient in most equine fly repellant supplements I am very interested in trying it. I had only heard of it being used internally but now that I know I can use it for my chickens I may have to pick some up

With so many different bedding materials to choose from, which kind do yall prefer, and what are the pros and cons? Which is the most cost efficient?
