With the warmer humid weather, our fly population has exploded. I do what I can to control the environment, but on a small farm with chickens and sheep free ranging, there is poop all over the place, and therefore flies.
SO...what can I do to make sure my sheep don't get sick from the flies?
No one has any open wounds, and they were sheared in May so the fur isn't too bad right now.
I do what I can to keep the pens clean, but the flies have jumped in number.
I've hung a few sticky fly catchers, but they are a joke. I think I need something that actually attracts the flies.
Wondering if anyone can share fly control advice? I've got LOTS of the green ones....
