Re: fly control

["Tracey" <tracey@tbt.co.za>]

I only have two horses, and one groom.  Guess it does come across as
somewhat over-indulged, but my stables are literally five metres from my
family room  window, and very close to my kitchen door, so flies in the
stable invariably find their way into the house, so my situation is a bit
desperate.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can use all the fly spray you
like, but if there are droppings lying around, then you will still have
flies.  Obviously, how much dropping-picking-up you do depends on your
circumstances.  I'm probably overly-conscientious : I Sep out for the last
time between 9pm and 10pm, after the horses get their night hay net and
before they get their goodnight kiss!
