Had terrible problems with flies. Hung a gallon bag 1\2 full of water with 6 pennies in it , put it in the center of kennel at about 4 ft high. I have no more fly problem.

I read that diomatacious earth would not only keep your hounds worm free, but what passes through in their crap will be picked up by the flies and kill them too. This is the first summer I have put D.E. in my dogs food every single day and though there are still a few flies around, it is a very small fraction of the swarms I used to have around my dogs in the summer. The more I learn about D.E. the more I am sold on it!

get a jug of permitherin 10% at tractor supply. mix 1 oz with a gallon of water. spray the area. keep the dogs aaway until it dries. don't spray their water and food dishes. do this every week.

I use the water in the gallon bag trick also. Works good. Got the idea from a fast food take out window.

Don't really know what purpose they serve other then you have just a few cents tied up in fly repellent . Lol
Just wad the top of the bag together and tie a piece of twine or string around it . There are no holes in it .

Last summer I was at a friends house and as we were sitting on the porch I noticed the bag of water with pennies. I'm not exactly sure how bad his fly problem was before but in my opinion the bag of pennies were not working very well.
