citronella oil mixed with a little water in a spray bottle. You need to apply it daily if not twice. It will not wlimnate them but will deter them.

She can feed them garlic....she should be able to find it at her local tack shop in the supplement section. If not, there are lots of places online to order it. I use Wendall's Herbs Garlic for Horses.
