I have used this a couple of times but I discovered that plain old WD40 does a lot better job and is a lot cheaper. I started using wd about two weeks ago on myself and my dogs. I live in north Florida and believe me the flies and gnats are unreal here, I've started out of a morning with gnats all over me and sprayed a little wd on my hands, rubbed around ears and there gone. works 5 times as long as that stuff. hope this helps.

I lightly spray this on my dogs daily and they don't have any issues with biting flies or gnats. The flies have not been so bad here yet. I use Buggins all of the time when I am out working in the yard and find it works great, even seems to repel mosquitoes. Smells wonderful too!

We have sprayed this on our dogs and it seems to keep the flies away. We can see them around them but they do not land on them. You do have to reapply about every 2 hours but it does work. My brother -in-law swears by it for the Bufflo Gnats that are found in IL. We use it mostly for Yellow Flies and No Seeums down here in FL.

I have been using it to combat ear infections. It takes a while to work, but it is working. A friend used it on a bite that her dog got (spider or something) that the dog was chewing on--she just slathered it on the irritated spot and it was gone overnight.

I am not sure the type of spider that bit me since I did not see it but we have some black widows that go back and forth between mine and our neighbors fence and I am hoping it works good on those too. It seemed to extract well. We have a dog that received large scars from a spider bite several years ago and after starting the summer out with tons of snakes, I decided to get this and keep it on hand to try on anything that it may help. So I don't know the exact answer but I sure hope it does!

Live in Tampa FL and we have LOTS of mosquitos and flying bugs in general. Seems to be working pretty good, the container at the bottom gets pretty full with those pesky bugs. We're in the pool in the evening and we are not getting bombarded with Mosquitos. It works better than any of the other bug zappers I have tried. I would recommend you try it and give it a few days to work as the instruction direct.

I use it to repel Mosquitos on my dogs. I spray them and the whole area around them and inside their dog house. Once it starts getting to high 80's we spray them every nite. They've never had fleas or ticks as long as we use it like I said.

I had to hang the lurex to my dynatrap by wire. either way, I did not attract the mosquitos that were biting me with the different attractant. I am in southern cal so not sure if it attracts the mosquitos here. I did use aveeno skin lotion and it seemed to work! I can sit outside at nite without the mosquitos biting my head, arms or legs. go figure. will have to test aveeno in a more mosquito rich environment.

We have several of these around our place, they work great. Place them at least 5-6 foot off the ground near entry doors to keep flies from entering the house. I only use them outside. You will know when the can is empty or the batteries need replaced because the flies will be back. I wish it had a day/night sensor so it wasn't wasted by spraying all night, but other than that, they work great!

I believe so. It attracts all that we have around here and some of them are large, biting flies. I assume they are horse flies. Try it and see. Just follow the instructions and get out of the way. Mine started catching flies in under an hour.

Does this actually kill flies or does it just trap them till they die? Also, Can this be used in home? or does it smell bad?

This doesn't work to kill fleas or flies, but I found a product here on Amazon that does a pretty good job. Permethrin: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UUZ3OI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 I've used it a few times when I plan on outdoor barbeques. Not a single insect bothers my guests with this stuff. However, I should note that it needs to be reapplied often (weekly perhaps).

We do not have chiggers here that I know of. I have not tried it on mosquitoes or chiggers.

could possibly contact the manufacturer the number on the back is 888-880-1181. web site is also listed at www.repel.com Front of the package mentions biting flies...

You may want to check with 3M directly. I only know that it works very well against mosquitos and deer flies. Interesting question.

Will this help my fly infestation (have no idea where they are coming from)? I kill 10-15 flies a day!

It stinks really bad so what flies are in the area will be caught. Works very well catching flies. I don't know about the whole neighborhood.

OMG YES! We had a 'FENCE CLIMBER!' and the very first time he got zapped? It rocked his World. He didn't know WHAT hit him! I cowered in his kennel for 2 days. Then he tried it again. ZAP! Again...cowered a day in his kennel. After that? We left it on for a week, then disconnected it. He had ZERO desire to hop that fence. If you are going to use it for coyotes, I'd leave it on 24/7 due to them roaming and you're not going to be able to teach just one that is place is 'Off limits'. Would I recommend this product? YES!!!

No this gadget doesn't even work on my dogs, they bark right over the very highest setting, it bothers me more than them, don't waste your money! I ended up buying citronella spray collars. It sprays the dog's nose when they bark, works like a charm. I don' even have to turn it on to spray anymore, they just wear the collar and I have complete silence. This of course does not help you with your neighbor's dogs, but you might suggest he/she or you gets one for them, because it's gentle and they learn super fast...
