How does garlic help with fly control?

There has been a lot of talk lately about garlic for fly control!  How does it work?  The mode of action from garlic comes from its defense mechanism as a plant.  When it is crushed a chemical reaction takes place inside the plant and releases sulfurous compounds with a strong odor that helps ward off attacks from pests!  

When an animal ingests garlic, an animal absorbs these compounds and it is emitted through the animal's skin and breath.  Flies are repelled and they do not land on the animals!  You can achieve up to a 50% reduction of flies by supplementing garlic! 

We have the Vitaferm Heat Mineral and KNS mineral in stock that contains garlic for great fly control!
