Is the Vet gun balls effective? Been using rub rope here and does not seem to help much
We've had somewhat mixed results out of it. The first gun we bought had a gas leak right of the bat, and we returned it for another one. That one worked ok the first time we used it, although the fly control was not what I expected, lasting only a short time. We used it again about a month later, and the gun experienced another gas leak. Sent it back to the manufacturer as it was under warranty, and the sent us a replacement unit. That one worked and the fly control was much better that time, probably because we used a different kind of ball.
So, I'm not all that impressed with what I've seen so far. However, I must have just gotten some bad guns, as some of my neighbors that have them seem to like them. There are several different types of the balls, with differing kinds of fly control drugs, giving a choice as to what works the best.
The cows sure don't like being hit with that balls, that's for sure. We're going to have to tweak our system some as far as that part goes.
