Go Green Tips:

• Fewer flies and other insects will be attracted to the barn if it is kept fairly dark inside during the day. A strong fan or breeze can help, and fly masks/sheets are excellent nontoxic insect controls
• Always store chemicals safely:
  • keep substances in their original containers or always label recycled containers
  • secure lids properly
  • check expiration dates
  • keep out of reach of horses / other farm animals
  • keep separate from feed, water and equipment / house petroleum products separately
