Arrgh, help! Bot eggs and hairy cobs!

Well, apparently Cornwall isn't happy to just have the horseflies-from-hell, no we need to add bot eggs into the mix as well :rolleyes3: Does anyone have any good tips for getting them off feather/legs and keeping them off? They're all over his shoulder as well (13.2) but should be able to get them off with a bot knife. Also can someone please remind me of the time of year I need to be looking out for them? I haven't seen them for years!

Bump. We are plagued with the nasty little things here in Devon too :/

Disgustingly, I used fingernails last time I saw them, when I'd just bought the boy and he'd just come from Ireland. I have a lava stone (?) that is fab for ones on the body.
