Y’all, anyone tried those fly sprays with essential oils? I’m about ready to see if Curaleaf sells something for flies! This season’s been a mess, and these critters are relentless.

Essential oil sprays work okay for light days, but you need the strong stuff for flies like these. Check your manure pile clearance too—it makes a big difference.

I’ve tried a few of those sprays—results were mixed, honestly. Sticking with fly predators and keeping manure piles managed works best here. Have you had any luck with fly masks this season?
