Subject: RE: fly rubs


Driftless SW Wisconsin

Cobb - 10/12/2025 20:19 I wasn't sure when I used the fly sock rubs how much they helped, then I had a 600 lb calf got wrapped up in one and hung himself ,so I quit using them. But this year flies are so bad I need to reconsider using them again. So mixing the permethrin with diesel would work better than used oil ? Any thoughts? Thanks

Rather than the socks you can use the main rub tubes as pictured above and use the "flypps" as they call them, strips tied to the rub that wick mix down for their face and part of their sides.

I would NEVER douse the rubs with used engine oil. There are many things in that waste oil such as combustion products. For the small amount required why not just use clean diesel fuel?
