RE: fjordhorse-digest V2002 #89
This message is from: Skeels, Mark A (MED) [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, we have some little flies that like to hide in the horses ears, my wife squishes them out, we put some pink salve on the ears last year, they cluster in there. What type of flies are they and how do you keep them out of the ears. Mark and Sandra Skeels Lord's Farm Fjords Had some tornado warnings today.

I did 3 different things last summer to keep the fly population down. I used freedom fly drops, equitrol in their feed, and I sprayed my stalls and paddocks about one a month. I had very little problem with flies. However, the horse journal I get did a study on freedom fly drops. They felt they were effective as long as you don't wash your horse or hose them down very often. And I believe they also said that if it rained a lot or they sweat real bad, this would also decrease its effectiveness. Since I now have 3 horses instead of 2, I have eliminated the freedom fly drops to cut down on the expense. I still feel it is a little too early to be able to tell if I will have a bigger problem with flies without the drops. I'm in NW Mo. and it has just started to warm up, but it has been so windy that the flies are just beginning to make themselves noticed. I feel the equitrol is very helpful, since the flies can't breed in the manure and this helps all over the pasture. Hope I've been able to shed a little light on the subject. If the flies become more of a problem without the freedom spot on, I will go back using it regardless of the expense. Onna

Re: Freedom Fly Drops
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carol J. Makosky wrote: Did anyone use the Freedom Fly repellent drops last season and, if so, what did you think of them? Yes, we used the Freedom Fly repellent drops most of last summer. We started with our gourmet fly dinner Fjord, Tobyn. The flies are really attracted to him. We have tried all the home remedies including garlic, which he likes a lot. The repellent drops worked on him pretty much the way it says it does on the box. In other words, the company states that the drops work better after each application. The drops really started working after the second application. What we found with these drops was that it did not keep all the flies and mosquitoes off the horses. We kept applying a light coating of fly spray about once a day. (This may be a drug interaction problem, but we did not see any reactions.) We started using the drops on the rest of the herd shortly after we saw that they were helping Tobyn. We stopped using the drops sometime in the fall. The horses did not have any reactions to the drops, but since the drops are oily, dirt is attracted to the application points. This is a little bit of a problem if you like spotless horses. As far as we could tell, none of the horses licked the application points on themselves or their buddies. Overall, I think the Freedom Fly repellent drops work to reduce the number of flies on the horses, but did not keep them all away. We have to be concerned around here with mosquitoes because of the West Nile Virus, so we are a little reluctant to stop using the spray products. Even though we did use both the drops and sprays last summer, I'm not sure it is safe. Has anyone received any advice on using the drops and sprays at the same time? Since we just went from winter to summer in the last two days, we have not yet started using the drops on the horses this season. We will have to make a decision soon. By the way, I think the drops are too expensive. Curt Pierce Bristow, VA The Fjords say that it is too hot to do anything but eat!
