What kind of fly spray should i use?

I live in MN and it is hot over here. i give my horses cool baths every week,but the flies bother the heck out of them (They are biting flies) when i get them wet. what can i do or what can i use to keep them flies from bothering them. they don't want to stand still when i wet them down. does fly spray loose effectiveness when it is sprayed on wet hair? i have been spraying my horses down, when they are still wet, but i have the majority of the water off, with the fly spray. I currently use farnam endure and have a bottle of absorbine ultrashield ex which i will use when the endure runs out.

My barn uses the fly spray from Bronco. It is part of the Absorbine line. It works great. Also, you could get horse-friendly fly traps and place them around the barn and put plenty around the area where you wash your horses. Good luck and hope this helps!

If you don't want to use the spray, they also sell a type of fly repellent that comes in a little tube and you apply down the middle of the back, it's called Equii Spot. They also sell pellets you give them in their feed which helps control flies, so they are not swarming around the areas your horses go. Or you could try a fly sheet, face mask and fly leg wraps. Go to Statelinetack.com and click on the pest control tab. You'll find these things there.
