Mike's having just a little too much fun plinking flies. 😀

@davidpoynter6546 3 года назад

The vet caps need to have a color included in the mix, to identify cows that you have treated before like a actual paint ball gun.

🪰⚡️🪰 BIGGEST battle of the warm season for all animal/livestock owners/caregivers !!! That is a very interesting salt gun zapper YOU demonstrated.🪰RESCUE FLY BAGs here in the desert, lure thousands of flies into the stinky traps. You have to maintain them as the water evaporates fast, in HOT temperatures, so bring the water level back up so that the bag does NOT dry out. It keeps working until it is FULL ❌🪰❌ ❗️

@michaelrust7614 3 года назад

Our Vet talked about this. Had a client that used the gun. After 3 months of use they would run away. Ever been shot by paint gun on your skin? Fly tags and a product called Martin's Cyonara plus pour-on insecticide. Drop some pellets or corn out. Cows come up and squirt on them. Will keep horn flies off for 30 days.

@cherylcampbell7495 3 года назад

My husband insisted on an electric bug zapper. Hated it when a large bug got stuck. The noise and smell😂😂🇺🇸

@nmdispatchlady 3 года назад

The "Big Stinkys", what we used to call them work pretty good with a little water and a piece of raw meat in the bottom. Yes it smells bad but not as bad as that attractant. You can also use the Malrin granules in there and they work as well. I don't know what kind of flies you have but we used to empty those about once a week. God bless

It's a good idea to use a fly control in the mineral as well. I use the Vet Gun along with Gro Tec Ag Land Fescue 7 mineral with Rumensin and Justifly. The rumensin prevents coccidiosis, Justifly works from the inside out. Just my two cents.

Bug Assault is super efficient for a home owner best part is it doesn’t splatter the fly. Highly recommend BUG ASSAULT.

@garbo8962 3 года назад

Can remember a few summers when the green head flies were all over the party boats. They could hold onto a part of the boat during hour trip out in the ocean. As soon as boat stopped they were on you. Use to say they don't bite they drill holes into you.

I use the fly canasters as well an I found you can reuse them like 3 more times instead of buying new ones just add some bread an more water an leave a lil bit of flys on the bottom an the stench continues due to the yeast. They fill up very fast an work very well! Great for camping around the home ranch etc.

I got a couple bug a salt guns in February, killed like eighty flies every morning, eighty when I got home, the flies kind of quit appearing end of May, now I haven’t killed a fly in two weeks. Addictive? My arms were sore from pumping that thing, I couldn’t stop and I miss the routine, a little. I’m convinced I made a difference.

@garbo8962 3 года назад

Performed electrical work at large homes that had barns with 2 to 8 horses. All of these barns were fly magnets. All had 2 or more bug zappers. Only place that draws more flies is a pile of dead crabs. Used to go crabbing several times a year. One time we came back with a full bushel of crabs during an extended heat wave. Any way a few crabs got loose in buddys trunk. Don't know what was worst a trunk load of flies or stink from dead crabs.

I tried the Vet Gun Three or four years ago when they were introduced. Used it for a year after that I quit. Didn't have the long term effect they claim especially if it rains. I found that it worked for four to five days then the fly count went back up. That said I've tried everything but minerals with fly stop garlic and cinnamon seem to help more than anything else. Fly count dropped about 50 percent. I will however use the Vet Gun if I get a cow or her calf with pinkeye. You don't shoot the calves. But if you shoot the cow the oils from the insecticide will rub off onto the calf.

Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Colorado etc are such beautiful states. So underestimated. I ran to Hardin Last winter and didnt hit any snow, but the snow was all over. I used to live in Massachusetts amd it's just as beautiful in the winter. Love it up there, but if you have to chain up, you dont need to be driving.
