Description
If you spray more than one horse, buying ready-to-use fly spray by the bottle gets expensive fast. Farnam Repel-X pe Concentrated Fly Spray is the answer: an emulsifiable concentrate you dilute with water to make your own. Every pint of concentrate makes a gallon of finished spray, so a gallon of Repel-X pe stretches a very long way. The mixed spray repels and kills horn flies, house flies, stable flies, horse flies and deer flies, along with gnats and mosquitoes, and it is effective against ticks including the deer ticks that transmit Lyme disease. It works on horses and around the barn, so one jug covers animals and premises alike.
Key Features
- Repels five types of flies — horn, house, stable, horse and deer — plus gnats, mosquitoes and ticks, and kills on contact
- Effective against deer ticks, which may transmit Lyme disease
- Highly economical: one quart of concentrate makes eight quarts of ready-to-use spray
- Just add water — no special equipment beyond a sprayer or mixing container
- Works on horses and on premises, including stalls and around the barn
- Gallon size for barns spraying multiple horses through a full fly season
How to Use
- Put the required amount of concentrate into the sprayer or mixing container first, then add water and mix thoroughly before use.
- For horn flies, house flies, gnats and mosquitoes, mix at a 1 to 7 dilution — each pint of concentrate makes a gallon of finished spray.
- For horse flies, deer flies, stable flies, ticks and deer ticks, mix at a stronger 1 to 4 dilution.
- Apply with a pressure sprayer or sponge it on, wetting the coat thoroughly; roughly 8 oz of finished spray per animal depending on size.
- Avoid getting the solution in the animal's eyes. Repeat every three to four days, but no more than one treatment per day.
- Mix a fresh solution before each use, and do not treat foals under 12 weeks of age unless prescribed by a veterinarian.
