Ultra shield ex horse spray works well on my dogs. I also have a fly trap but instead of the bait they provide I mix a can of wet dog food with water and it fills up quick

i would be careful with the fly tags i bought some n put em on all my dogs and i think it killed one of my young bull dogs .
he stays in his water bucket all the time n i read the box after i found him dead its poison if the tag gets in a water system

We use fly parasites. This has knocked down the fly problem that we had.

We use UltraShield on the dogs, and we get shipments in every other month or so of fly predators that we release all over the property. They're little tiny wasps (that don't sting humans) that seek out flies and lay their eggs in them thus killing them. I think that's how it works, lol. All I know is that we saw a HUGE difference when we started getting them. Spalding Labs has them.

Ultrashield works, but u can buy 10% permethrin and mix your own up alot cheaper. 1 0z to a gallon is what i use. Also started the fly predators and i aint seeing any fly's. but it has been a COOL spring with weekly cold snaps here in central Alabama, so we'll re-evaluate  once it warms up for good. Also ENDURE spray by Farnham works about like ultrashield .

Ultra shield, ear tags or 10% permethian (2:1 ratio). 1 of my dogs had flies on his ears bad, got to where his ears were bleedin. Sprayed ultra shield 3wks ago and they havent been back. I use permethian to spray the outside of the houses and ground, gotta do it every 3-4wks or when i notice the flies gettn bad,
