I had found about SWAT from my sister in law who has horses. SWAT is a clear ointment that repells and protects wounds, open sores, abrasions from the nasty fleas. And it is also suppose to kill the flies on contact.

I thought it was only used on horses, but she said she has been using it on her dogs and works greats.

You do have to use it daily, but it really does the job.

And it is cheap. We are talking like under $10.00 for a 6 oz can.

So for these fly problems, get SWAT.

Pros: affordable, easy to use

Cons: can't think of any

sometimes you just come across things by chance thankyou chance

Pros: prevents infection

Cons: messy

We use this on dogs' ears at the shelter during the summer monthes. It does a great job and protects sensitive ears.

Pros: keeps critters comfortable

Cons: none

this helps keep the flys and other pest out of little cuts and scraps

Pros: keeps flys off

Cons: messy

slightly messy, but very effective. i use this every summer and it works very well. smells pretty good too!

Pros: smell, effectiveness

Cons: messy
