Hey There.

Wondering what everyone uses for those pesky flies this time a year?
Are there any Natural or chemical free options that WORK?

I have used Flys Away in spray and cream. I have also used the Horse Fly spray from Tractor Supply.
These are not exactly Natural, but safe.

What do you use??

One of the Natural things I use to cut down bugs in the backyard is Cedar Chips. Not the kind for flower beds, but the kind you buy in bags for animal bedding. Although this year I bought a granual and laid it in the beginning of the year and the bugs all together have been a hell of alot better.

I got this from a friend:

1 cup of Cider vinegar,
1 teaspoon of citrinella
half a cup of soft & gentle conditioner,
2 teaspoons of a gentle liquid soap
1 teaspoon of tea tree oil
1 litre of strong cold tea
pop it into a sprayer and voila!!!
It needs to be shaken every time before use...
I spray it around the kennels, on the dogs and my horse, it gives a healthy sheen to their coats too...
