It worked so well for him that I sprayed my hat too. Once they land on

Wayno:
brand name?

It is Absorbine Flys-X, a ready-to-use pyrethrin-based insecticide. It also
has some citronella thrown in, so it probably works (somewhat) as a
repellent too.
I got a quart bottle of it at Co-Op Feeds a few years ago for $6.95


And as long as you're getting into the Absorbine line, try some of the
linament, too. Works for all the things the drugstore "Absorbine, Jr."
does, but a little better and much cheaper. Great on insect bites,
tired and sore muscles, and, if you don't mind the smell, a general
"skin refresher" when doing outdoor-type activities.

And as an aside, you can drop a VERY few drops into Herbsaint or other
"Absinthe" replacements and have your wormwood back, if you are so
inclined...G....Um, John, when you try this, that means A VERY FEW
drops...G...
