Since we moved to our new home we have been battling with mosquitos and flies from taking over our deck and pestering our dogs. Here are some solutions I have tried:
- Put a mentholated rub (vaporub Vicks) on the ears. You can also try a Vaseline product.
- Make a repellent by using apple cider vinegar mixed with Pine Sol, water and orange scent as a fly spray.
- Mixing mouth wash (Listerine) with Hydrogen Peroxide spray keeps the flies away.
- At the first sign of fly bites, gently clean the affected areas with a mild soap and water. Apply a topical, over-the-counter antibiotic cream like Neosporin or ointment to prevent infection and take the appropriate steps to minimize and repel biting flies.
- I tried other over the counter sprays. But I find this one works best.
