Hey all, does the flies seem more worse this year then last year to any one? I'am doing what i always do every year and that keep the poop up daily, wash kennels down daily with kennel wash, spray dogs ears with ultra shield,keep yard mowed and short. keep trash cans at bay. Anything i think isgoing to attract flys food wise is frozen in gallon zip lock bags and put out in Trash cans only on trach pick -up day. They are bad this year . I putbasil out, that seems to help. i did order 100% Pepperment oil and i am going to hang around the kennel area. They say on the internet that pepperment and basil keep flys at bay. Any other natural remedy ideas would be greatly appreciated , they just seem to be bad around my area this year and i do not know why, Thanks Joni ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
