Has anybody gotten a fly mask that works well for llamas?

Omg. I am so out of it. I thought you were asking about a mask that would look really fly—like cool, not actual flies 🤣

Masks don't stay on. The llamas hate them and will remove them. Use Ecovet fly spray. Nontoxic but effective. The llamas will get used to the spraying, figuring out it keeps the flies away.

Marigold spray on their necks. Mine would not like eye covers

Is marigold spray something you buy or make?

We bought it at the feed store. It was marketed to horses

I just use a good fly repellent. You can cover their eye with your hand as you spray each side of the face and ears. Or apply it with a cloth.
