PROBLEM: Flies are bugging your horse and irritating his skin
SOLUTION: Insect Control Supplements
There are very few things that you can get a room full of riders to agree on, but hating flies is definitely one of them. Fly sprays are great, but a bottle-a-week habit can really put a dent in your budget. Fortunately, supplements can help!
There are two main types of insect control supplements. Some are only effective if fed to all of the horses on the property, while others will work for your horse, even if you’re the only one feeding it.
For the Whole Herd
Feed-through larvicides, like Solitude IGR, need to be fed to all of the horses on the property in order to be effective. The active ingredient, cyromazine, is an insect growth regulator that inhibits proper development, so house and stable fly larvae are unable to develop into adults.
