Fly Spray, What Works? Natural & Chemical?

Fly Spray That Works

Personally, I am not against zapping the annoying little @#$@$@ with chemicals, and I have found that Farnam's "Wipe" has always worked for me....in the south, and the PNW.

But, for those that are allergic, or for owners that don't like trusty chemicals, there is a remedy that actually works!

So here goes, mix in a fly spray bottle in these ratios:

1/4 bottle Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 bottle Water (hose/tap type is great...U aren't drinking it!)
1/2 bottle White Vinegar

Make SURE to shake well before each spraying. Being all natural, spray until wet. Feed morning grain/hay AFTER spraying so horse can dry before being Turned Out for the day; and then TO for the day free of flies, and mosquitoes!
