207.122.110.163 Comments I am looking for a natural method of dealing with blowfly strike in sheep. A variety of flys lay eggs in sheep which rapidly multiply and if not caught quickly this may cause young lambs to die of shock or as a result of the maggots boring into the skin. More frequently, the infection is caught but leaves the lambs disfigured and dirty. State of the art at present is cryomazine. This is not very effective and is expensive.
Conventional farmers use organophosphates.
