Fly season gets ahead of you fast, and this spray is ready when you are. The water-based formula comes ready to use with a spray nozzle, so there is no mixing. It goes directly on horses, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs, poultry and dogs when used as directed.
It's built for the flies that work a barn over: horse flies, stable flies and face flies, plus horn, house and deer flies. Outdoors, use it on the lawn and soil and around building foundations. It keeps working for up to 4 weeks, and the label tells you when to repeat for the biting flies.

Why choose a ready-to-use spray
Ready to use means nothing to mix when the flies are already on the horse. A water-based spray works into the coat easily and leaves no mixing mess to clean up. Starting before the flies build up is easier than catching up after a bad week.
It's a good pick for the horse owner with a turnout, the small farm with goats and sheep, or a family with a dog that runs the barn. Flies breed in manure and wet spots, so stall work counts as much as the spray. A fan and dry bedding are part of the same plan.

How to use it
Use it as a ready-to-use spray, and follow the directions for each area you're treating.
- Shake well. For horn flies, face flies, house flies, mosquitoes and gnats on horses, cattle, goats, sheep and hogs, apply a light mist that wets the surface of the hair. For face flies, spray the face and head but not into the eyes.
- Indoors, use it for spot applications only.
- Outdoors, apply it to lawn and soil and around building foundations to prevent insect infestations.
For stable flies, horse flies and deer flies, apply 2 ounces per adult animal, enough to wet the hair thoroughly. Repeat daily or as often as needed for continued protection.
Dogs only, never cats: start at the tail and cover the whole body, legs and underbody, fluffing the hair so the spray reaches the skin. Wet thoroughly but do not saturate, keep it out of the eyes and face, and wear gloves. Treat dogs indoors, no more than once every 7 days.
Good to know
- Spot-treat the barn rather than spraying whole rooms, since indoor use is for spot applications only.
- Clean stalls and keep bedding dry. The spray is one part of the routine, and the manure work does the rest.
- Store it upright in a cool, dry place where children and pets cannot reach it.
- Keep it away from feed and water troughs.
