During warm summer months, horses and owners are often made miserable by flies and other insects. Having an effective fly control program and using effective products can protect horses from annoyance and misery.
Effective fly control can be achieved by incorporating a few simple management tips:
- Dispose of fly breeding material including manure and used bedding
- If waste disposal is not possible, treat manure with an effective larvicide
- Keep paddocks and corrals clean and dry
- Scrub water buckets and troughs weekly
- Remove standing water which may serve as a mosquito breeding ground
- Read all labels before use, heed warnings and apply according to label directions
-
Do not mix different fly repellents together.
