Hi does anyone know if theres anything out there that's natural that prevents fly strike? I know you can get some stuff to spray on them but I'd rather use something natural and less chemically on Darcy. My mum lost a rabbit to fly strike when I was about 5 or 6, and i saw my first fly this year earlier today, I will use the spray stuff if there isn't anything obviously. Thanks KT
 
This looks like a good guide which I've seen pop up a few times elsewhere recently, which has a few preventative measures. I don't know if such a thing exists to replace Rearguard that is "natural".
