Hey ya'll! What do use to cotrol flies? I noticed they are already buggin' my sheep and goats. Is there anything you can spray on or rub on goats/ sheep to keep the flies at bay? I know there are horse sprays but wasn't sure if those can be used for goats/sheep.

Thanks!

I use this on my milking does when I bring them for milking. I spray their legs and around their head so they aren't bothered by the flies. Works very well and I don't worry about them licking where I spray.


I get it at my local feed store. They carry it in gallon jugs so refill is easy.

Smells nice, not chemically because it is all herbal.

I also put diatomaceous earth in their feed and that seems to have cut back on the amount of flies each year.
