I have sprayed with permetherin, on the dogs and the ground around them.  I have hung cattle tags from their collars.  I have applied bayer on their backs, and I've sprayed them with cutter.  I cannot seem to stop them, my next step will be bait stations and fly tape.

Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat.

What was the 'rule' for the tags so that if the dogs chewed them they were less likely to get sick?

I think I am going to have to hang them from our front door, I spend my days chasing flies around the house since it has warmed up!

We use the Python ones from TSC. The only thing is if you have your dogs all together to where they can chew on each others tags, dont use them. Only use them with dogs kenneled by themselves, to where no other dog can get to the tags. We take hog rings and attach them to their collars.

flies    not a one time fix it's an every day job to control them . most of us are in the country and every cow pie creats about a thousand flies every ten days . keep at them and spray your kennels as much as needed and be sure to use an I G regulator to steralize the adult flys before they can mature and lay eggs   last word on the subject good luck

Their kickin my butt too. Started spraying the dogs with this stuff called bronco yesterday - seemed to give them a lot of relief, we'll see how long it lasts.

Been Hangin fly tape for weeks now, they get filled up in a day or two - its crazy. A lot of people saying this is gonna be a bad year for a lot of different bugs
