The action is on the maggots, not the adult flies.

Good news! No more flies. I increased the clorox mixture to the water and had a field day spraying the flies lol. The next day there wernt as many and I sprayed again. The spray even took care of some fire ants. Like I stated in an earlier message here, I raked the areas I sprayed to turn the soil over and prevented the chickens from entering the pen til later in the afternoon. Everything worked as planned and no more pesky flies.

Sorry to hear about your throat. Would a spoonful of honey help soothe it a bit? Can't do any harm
