Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 we have flitraps and I also dilute citronella oil with water in a plant sprayer and spray it around the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerbluebadger Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 thank you! My husband is saying perhaps we should get rid of the girls! Where do you get the oil from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 thank you! My husband is saying perhaps we should get rid of the girls! Where do you get the oil from? don't get rid of your girls, it's an issue but controllable do you put garlic powder in their food, that makes their poo less smelly and possibly less attractive to flies too. I got a small bottle of citronella oil from e-bay last year. you only need about 10 drops in a small sprayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
