Try Leovet power phazer fly spray, it gives up to 7 hrs protection they also do a cream format which might be easier to apply.

I am not going to be much help as I want to know the answer to this one

My old boys 'bit' is so big all the blighters go for a nibble .... I put udder cream on it but that does not really help much ... I used to put a mixture on BBenzoate on it and that was a bit strong

.... now I end up putting a Dermobion (sp) substitute on it to get rid of the soreness AFTER the blighters have got him ... however as this is a steroid, he is not supposed to have it as he suffers from Cushings ...

Very interested to know of some others peeps solution/remedies

I have mares...but am using Autan human fly stuff (like a roll-on thing where you wind it up) around their udders, etc.....seems to work.

My cream pony's sheath gets bitten more than the others, think they go for the cream skin. Have tried covering him with sudacream, it sort of works in that he doesn't seem to have so many spots of blood when its covered, BUT the goo gets all in his tail as he swishes it about, so now got greasy revolting tail!

Nettex Itch Stop in the morning accompanied with 2 different fly sprays and then a good layer of sudocrem in the evening with more fly spray seems to do the trick for mine

I also feed brewers yeast and that has had the biggest effect (he has sweet itch)
