Description

Break the fly cycle right where it starts with the Tribute Equine Fly Control Block from Kalmbach Feeds. This free-choice nutritional supplement block contains diflubenzuron, an insect growth regulator that prevents house flies and stable flies from developing in the manure of treated horses. Set it out where your horses gather, let them visit it daily, and stop the next generation of flies before it ever hatches.

Key Features

  • Diflubenzuron powered: Delivers 90.8 mg of diflubenzuron per pound to stop fly larvae from developing in manure.
  • Breaks the life cycle: Prevents house fly and stable fly emergence; note that existing adult flies are not affected.
  • Free-choice simplicity: Offer the block free choice — no daily dosing, mixing, or top-dressing required.
  • Season-long strategy: Start early in spring before flies appear and feed through summer into fall until cold weather restricts fly activity.
  • Fortified formula: Built on corn distillers dried grains, salt, and calcium with added copper, zinc, and vitamins A, D3, and E.

Feeding Directions

Provide the block as a free-choice source of nutritional supplementation for your equine. Horses should consume an average of 1.2 ounces of product per 100 pounds of body weight per day — about 12 ounces daily for a 1,000-pound horse — which supplies the target 0.15 mg of diflubenzuron per kg of body weight. Place the block where equine congregate, and begin feeding in early spring before flies appear, continuing until cold weather shuts down fly activity.

The block contains diflubenzuron, an insect growth regulator, at 90.8 mg per pound. As horses consume the block free choice, the diflubenzuron passes into their manure and prevents house fly and stable fly larvae from developing there, breaking the fly life cycle.
No. It prevents fly larvae from developing in the manure of treated horses, so existing adult flies are not affected. Kalmbach recommends using it as part of an integrated pest management program, and supplemental sprays may be needed to reduce adult flies coming from outside sources.
Offer the block free choice. Horses should consume an average of 1.2 ounces of product per 100 pounds of body weight per day, which works out to about 12 ounces per day for a 1,000-pound horse.
Start early in the spring before flies begin to appear and continue feeding throughout the summer and into the fall, until cold weather restricts fly activity.
This product is formulated for equine and contains added copper. Do not feed it to sheep or other species that have a low tolerance to supplemental copper.
