Fly strike, ticks etc

Hey,

It's coming to that time of year again when i need to start thinking about protecting my little ones against fly strike etc. Last year I only had one bun so it was a lot easier and i bought stuff that you spray on every 2 weeks. Wasn't that great. What does everyone else use?
 
I only use products on high risk animals, such as sick rabbits, those with dirty bottoms etc.

All bunnies who are potentially at risk have every thing done to reduce their risk such as diet changes to get rid of dirty bottoms etc.

Those old and sick would have net curtains on their hutches and runs and be checked twice a day for any problems.
 
I use nets as soon as it starts warming up and rearguard on any buns that are particularly vulnerable. I do have a spray that I may use occassionally ( like if we are away and the neighbours are on bun sitting ) just as an extra protection.:)
