And to get a jump on trapping, take 20% off Rescue Yellow Jacket and Fly Traps — a great deal on one of the most effective traps out there. Keep your horse protected with a Farnam SuperMask!

Another way to know that spring is truly here is to listen for the peeps when you come into a Rainbow store. It’s chick season! Chickens make great companions around the barn, where they eat up fly larvae and other pests. New shipments of chicks arrive weekly, and if you want something special, you can special order all types of poultry. If you are a poultry-fancier, you won’t want to miss Flock Day, April 18. Learn about two new products – Farm to Flock Starter and Grower.
When will the little girls arrive? Check the Chick Schedule!
