What do you guys recommend to keep flies off of dogs? I'm heading down to the hardware store now to buy some tiki torches, but wanted to know if there's anything else I could get.

Pick up your dog shit hahaha sorry mate i thought it was funny...
Lol, I keep it all clean but neighbours have decided its time to start using manure, and road works on sewage pipes aren't helping.
Anyway, grabbed some tiki torches, got them burning and it seems to help.
in combination with what pig mad says, i would also get a product called "fly rid" or "bronco" fly spray from your feed store.........or if you dont mind the smell you can do a 50/50 mix of water n ACV ive used it with sucess...
Check out the money saving section in the pit bull bible. Use permethrin II
I spray my porches, windows, screen doors and not a fly to be seen. I live next to some horses and cattle and use to have a major issue with flys. Mix 4oz to 20oz water

The oil is by far the best way to go but plays hell on the windows. Just sayin lol
True!
But by the same token it is great for screen mesh :mrgreen:
Cow tags
This company named, "Avon" sells a product named, "Skin So Soft". It's a gel and you rub it into the dogs coat. Not only does it repel flies, mosquitoes and fleas.. It makes the dogs coat shiny, lol.

(ULTRASHIELD) is the real deal
Ultrashield is just a Permethrin spray mixed with Citronella. Buy Citronella from eBay and mix it in your Permethrin/Mineral Oil spray. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40
