Its getting to that time of year again where fly sprays are needed

So ... home made fly spray recipes anyone? I know its something to do with tea, bit of fairy liquid, citronella etc.

Also ... any home made mane and tail recipes?
 
Last year I used dilute citronella oil mixed with water - I had put cold tea in the year before but it didn't do much! Tbh I prefer my fly rugs as all the sprays I've ever used have been limited. I shelled out for Flypel last year and it might as well have been water for the good it actually did!!!
I am sure there are some people on here that have recipes though.
 
we make one with

cold stewed tea
vinegar
dettol
squirt of fairy liquid
and a few drops of citronella


each year we change it a little wether that be a new or diff ingredient or different amounts of each thing and usually works great and actually smells not too bad too
 
I just use neat citronella oil and pour it in a spray bottle :):) buy a litre or so from b&q and other DIY places and asda when they have the summer garden stuff out. :)
