Fly Control Options for Horses: Get a jump start on fly control. Start your horse on a feed thru early in the spring and continue throughout the summer until cold weather restricts fly activity. Break the fly life cycle by preventing the development into mature adults. It’s also important to have added protection from wearable fly gear to stay comfortable during peak fly season.
Steinhauser’s offers several options:
Purina EquiTub with ClariFly: provides gastric support, fly control and high-quality nutrition in a convenient self-fed form.
In addition to unique technologies like Purina Outlast Gastric Support Supplement and Purina Amplify High Fat Supplement, EquiTub is also formulated with ClariFly larvicide. Flies are not only bothersome for horses and owners but can also be vectors for disease, and in some horses, elicit severe reactions. While there are many options available to help control the population of flies around your horses, ClariFly approaches the problem through a unique feed-through solution.
- Block: Create an actual physical barrier to keep flies off the horse’s face and ears using Super Masks.
- Repel: Use products that repel/kill flies and pests on the horse and in his environment. We have several Farnam products that do this, including sprays and pour ons.
- Reduce: Decrease the fly population in the barn and on the whole farm using Farnam’s SimpliFy feed-thru.
