Cute but do they work?
I’ve had mine attached to inside of fly-masks for about a week now – chicago-screwed to gullet region of mask. Horses wear masks for about 12 hours/day (not continuously like cows with tag on ear). No negative side-effects so far. No ticks either. But this time of summer the ticks seem to slow down some, compared to start and end of season?
I’ve used mane & tail braids, much like hunting season ribbons. We shall see.
