Having serious bother with flies this year, they're all over my heifers' teats. All cattle have had regular pour ons but needing teat protection.

Just wondering seen as Stockholm Tar doesn't provide protection for long can I put Crovect in a plant sprayer and spray direct on cow teats? I know it's not licensed for that but anyone tried it? Does it work?

Stockholm tar once a week
Feed something with garlic
Lemongrass and cintrello oil (spelling not correct I think) are good natural fly repellent
