Abstract
A face fly device comprises a container having a compartment area provided therein for receiving an insecticide mixed with oil or diesel fuel. A pair of flaps are provided on the upper end of the container which are riveted to the lobe of an animal's ear. A flexible wick extends downwardly from the container and is positioned adjacent the animal's face. The wick includes a knot which is positioned within the container so that the insecticide will flow through the wick from the interior of the container to the exterior of the container. The knot restricts the flow so as to prevent the insecticide from being depleted quickly.
