Repel Biting Flies the Natural Way
by Barb Darbey, MacKay Kennels
How do you repel biting flies the natural way? Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
I was watching Benny Hinn one day and he commented that they use olive oil in Israel (I believe that's where it was; he said his "native country") to keep the bugs off the sheep. What a God-send!
I don't like to use any un-necessary chemicals or medications on my animals, so to hear I could use something non-toxic and actually good for you was absolutely the best news in ages!
I have found it to be tried-and-true, and the only side effect to olive oil is that your dog is a little oily around the edges. That, and if your dog is like Cee Cee or Dee Dee, you'll have a heck of a time fending them off the bottle... and your hands!
Be sure to do the ears- flies find them especially tasty!
