Just spray it on. I also read on the internet to use it for arthritis and it works wonders for the pain. Dont know why but it does. ~Janette~ Report Spam or Abuse Request: Horse Flies Post by Laurel_admin (468) | (08/07/2008) Contact Every summer close to the end of July and begining of August we are bombarded by horse flies when we want to enjoy the outdoors. We do not live on or near a farm. We do not have livestock. We are puzzled and would like to ask if you have some home remedies for getting rid of the flies. They are mean and bite. If we kill one, then fifteen comes to its funeral! Thanks for all your help. Tina Kesler, OH Answers: RE: Horse Flies Cheap, effective and wonderfully scented. Go to a dollar store and buy Mint antiseptic mouthwash, lemon ammonia and lemon dish soap. Off brands work perfectly. Mix one part (I use the lid from the mouthwash) of each of the three liquids, into a 32 oz. spray bottle. Fill bottle to top with water. Spray everything (except animals and human) ie. grass, shrubs, lawn furniture, brick, wood, plants (it won't hurt them). You will be "flying insect" free for hours. Apply as needed.

I have caught 5 in one afternoon working outside. Hope it works for you.
