Hi
As summer enters there come the flies..
I use Fly-44 spray which works goos but lasts only for short time.
Any suggestions?

I think some of the products that say they last for a week are full of it. I have yet to find one that lasts more than a day or two. Personally I like Pyranha fly spray but not sure if you can get it Zahi. I've tried just about all of the ones available to us and it seems to work the best for all around flys, mosquitos, ticks and all the other nasty blood sucking nuisances. It is an insectacide so I try not to overdo it. I alternate between it and a natural ingredient fly spray (absorbine green) or just spray them with vinagar.
We also use fly predators here at home and I keep fly traps out all around the place.

How does it eliminates mature flies that come from neighbouring stables?
They won't, thats one of the reasons I use fly traps too. I have been using them for about 3-4 years. We have never had a year with 0 flies. We have farmers with cows near us, no stables. They have reduced the numbers drasticly from before we started. I get mine from Spalding labs. When I did the research they were the best price. They ship them to me every month during the fly season. Its a monthly release thing, not a one time application.

Edit: I release 10k fly predators every month for I think 6 months and the cost is about $200 for the season.
I used to use the feed on fly stuff. I just didnt feel right giving the horses more pesticide type feed.
