>>> Is there a supplement my horses could eat that would make them less 
>>> tasty?  Garlic?


There was a special on summer insect control on Good Morning America (or 
Today?) this week.  It was geared towards humans of course, but anyway... 
they said there have been double-blind studies that prove that garlic has 
absolutely no effect on how attractive humans are to bugs.  I think it 
tastes good though... :)   I'm going to wean Tivar off his garlic supplement 
soon - I don't think it's really doing anything for him, but if I see any 
difference, I'll let the list know.


It also advised against the use of bug zappers.   They said that bug zappers 
mainly attract moths, and some moth-type insects actually kill and eat some 
of the smaller and peskier bugs.
