    Having problems with flies...........sitting on dogs ears and sucking blood.

    They create small scabs which they feed on. Doesnt bother the dogs but seems to be a permanant fixture?

    Like in the bible, 4 oz permethrine + 20 mineral oil in spray bottle. I use an old 1 qt. Bronco equine fly spray bottle. Cover thier eyes with your hand and spray thier ears pointing back away from eyes. Some dont like the sound of the spray so I do it slow and easy and it doesnt seem to bother them as bad. Works for about 5-6 days till they need another spray. Its cheap and it works here.

    the only thing i don't like spraying stuff around my dogs ears . they can get yeast infections like that .

    Old Goat, ACV like Laced said clears up yeast infections. And I only spray the outside.
