Are flies attacking at your barn? It's not uncommon to see dozens of them swarming your horse on a hot summer day. You can spray your horse, use a sheet and mask, or even clean up their manure daily, but flies will still appear and cause everyone to be uncomfortable. Luckily, you can put a huge dent in their population with a DIY trap.
