Product Information

Paula Hitzler, Manager of Michigan State University’s Horse Teaching and Research Center, emphasized a similar approach in advice provided to The Spruce Pets. “We export all our manure off of the farm and that has significantly reduced our fly problem.”

Horse flies: Known for their remarkably large eyes, these big biters are able to fly very fast. Their mouth parts are scissor-like and cut holes in the tissue they bite. They prefer to grow their larvae in aquatic settings, and as such are more often encountered near a water source. When using a product for the first time, begin by applying to a small patch of your horse’s skin to test if they demonstrate skin irritation or other reactions. Our favorite horse fly spray is Absorbine UltraShield EX Insecticide & Repellent, because of its 17-day effectiveness, multiple uses, and the wide range of insect species it kills or repels. If you’d prefer a non-spray alternative, which can be particularly useful for repelling flies from around eyes, mouths, and other senstive areas, we recommend Farnam Endure Roll-On, which is weatherproof, effective for seven days, and useful against a wide range of flying, biting bugs. What to Look for in a Horse Fly Spray or Repellent Application In a word, yes. SOFT99 claims that the Glaco is an 'invisible wiper' and will remove the requirement of wipers at commuting speed (SOFT99 makes it clear you should use your wipers anyway) and in our experience, rainwater does bead off the glass effectively. We tried the Roll-On on both treated (with the compound) and untreated cars, and the difference in performance was rather clear.Rinse off horses when they get sweaty and wash their stalls of urine in addition to removing manure Generally speaking, oil-based products tend to contain more chemicals but also remain effective longer than water-based ones. This is usually because water-based products rinse off more easily in water and sweat than oil-based ones do. The usual rule of thumb has been that the better the protection, the more complex and expensive the application. SOFT99 aim to change this with an affordable, simple to apply rain repellent that offers long-term hydrophobic protection. What is it? An innovative way to disrupt the life cycle of horse flies and other pests, this product uses an insect growth regulator which is ingested by horses and excreted in their manure. A tasty addition to nearly any animal’s horse feed, it works throughout the warm season to help make your horse more comfortable and free of pests. Strategize ways to attract fly predators, i.e. parasitic wasps that lay eggs in fly pupae, destroying them

The downsides of oil-based products are the unpleasant oily residue they leave behind, the way they can dry out horses’ skin and lead to burning (similar to humans with suntan oil on) as well as their tendency to collect dust and dirt. Some horses experience irritation of the nose, throat and/or lungs from oil-based repellents too.

Are they easy to use?

Face flies: Feed with spongy mouth-parts only around the animals’ face, particularly the nose and eyes; capable of transmitting eye-worms. This fly requires fresh cow manure for egg-laying and larval development. This article was researched and written by KJ Callihan, a writer for The Spruce, who has worked in animal shelters, where she helped socialize animals for adoption, and fostered animals of various kinds. She also writes for CNET, AAA Northeast magazine, and more, Mosquitoes: Larvae develop in standing water or partially aquatic areas; can transmit several strains of encephalitis, West Nile Virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) which causes serious neurological disruption in horses; most often (but not always) active and feed at night.
