Title: Anyone nr Newton Abbot, south Devon with leftover Crovect/similar please?
Post by: WoodlandsDevon on July 22, 2017, 10:33:51 pm

My Local country store (and most shops it seems) are out of stock of the small quantity Crovect and not sure that spending £40-£60 on treatment for just 2 12 week old cade lambs would be worth it? Would be a big waste too.
Would really appreciate it if anyone near newton abbot/south devon has any excess flystrike treatment/preventative i could buy off them?  ;D
Also heard from some that they have used diluted jeyes fluid to treat flystrike in an emergency. What are thoughts on this? I guess not ideal but ok as last resort?
Thanks in advance for any replies :thumbsup:

Have you looked at BARRIER blowfly repel or red top fly traps ?
