Fly Spray?

[Tapsmom]

I have noticed that my goats seem to be shaking their heads a lot and scratching. I also have seen lots of flies pestering them (as well as me). I generally use fly spray on my horse. Can I use it on my goats as well? I have NDs

I'd like to know the answer to this too. I need some fly spray that is safe for spraying on my milkers.

We have used this the last couple years:

It's kind of pricey, but it lasts a long time. We just pour a little bit down their back where they can't reach it and haven't had a problem with flies or horseflies. It's also the only thing that our local feed store has that can be used on goats

I just use my horse fly spray for the goats. I try not to spray them too often, but the flies get so bad around here I can't let them suffer.

I know someone who mixes a bit of Dawn dish detergent, some pickling vinigar and some water, then uses it as a spray on her cows, she says it works. I'm going to give it a try.
