We have a lot of options for fly control, but today let's talk about the product that seems to be gaining traction the fastest at Maddock Ranch Supply.
Redmond Trace Mineral blocks with GARLIC! Get flies under control (and pre-season your steak ;)
Why Garlic? How Does it Work?
When your animals eat garlic, it gets into their bloodstream and repels biting insects like flies, lice, mosquitoes, and ticks. The garlic odor is expelled through animals' sweat glands, which biting insects do not like.
Some Common Questions about Garlic
Q: Does it take effect immediately?
A: No, it does take a couple of weeks of intake to build up in the animal's system. Consistent intake is very important for good results.
Q: Will my cattle like the taste?
A: Yes! The garlic is simply an additive to the salt they already love and crave.
