Review on 32 Oz Farnam 46512 Tri-Tec 14 Horse Fly Repellent - Powerful Protection For Your Equine Companion With No Harsh Chemicals by Melody Watson

I just moved into a new unit and during the summer, we had a huge issues with flies. I couldn't even open my back door without a fly or two sneaking in! It was annoying since I have 2 dogs that I have to constantly take out to potty. I had fly swatters all around my house, I hated going near the trash can because of the swarm of flies, and there were flies just sitting in the grass and on the side of the unit (I just moved in, so I inherited this problem).I did everything I could to rid the bugs from my side of the open yard (shared among 4 total tenants). I always picked up my dogs' poop, sprinkled diatomaceous earth on the grass regularly, sprayed lavender/peppermint oil extracts on all the corners of the house exteriors, and on some mornings, I would spray my grass with diluted dawn soup. Everything worked. temporarily.I finally found this fly repellant on ebay and ordered it based off the stellar reviews. Even though it says its for horses, I used it on my back door (yes, I sprayed my back door and trimmings down, sprayed the back windows next to the back door, sprayed the walk ways, and sprayed the trash cans. Within days, the flies were retreating from my side of the unit. I didn't have to worry about opening my back door and having a fly sneak in anymore cause they learned to stay away from my back door. Whatever flying bug landed on my back door also died (as I noticed many dead bugs stuck to my back door now). There were dead flies lying on top of my trash can. Finally, I felt a small victory in this battle.The downside to this is, it's a milky substance. My back door is glass, so after spraying it down with this repellent, I couldn't see through my back door anymore. It leaves behind a residue as well. The smell wasn't so bad. Not sure how toxic this stuff is, but I always wear gloves whenever spraying it.
