Default RE: Saw a scary thing...well just sort of disgusting

ORIGINAL: HuntnBama

Here in Alabama I've always heard them called "wolves",don't know or have I ever heard the technical name for them.Ol' timers say they leave at the first frost and thats always been they case for me.If they get in a dog you pour a little turpintine on itand it will cure it right up in a day or two,of course it burns the dog a little at the time.I've seen them in early season squirrels and rabbits before a frost,but after a frost they leave or drop out for some reason.
the turpentine actually suffocates the fly they also say you can out a raw steak on it and the bot fly will move into it or fingernail polish will also help suffocate it
