My Horse is already showing severe sweet itch, I have tried alot and the one thing that is working is Pyranha fly spray on him, its almost gone away…. I spray him almost daily if not every other day..

we have a horse that got bit by a horse fly and has bumps on her body. We are putting lots of fly spray on her. I have another horse who is allergic to fly spray and I know this, so I put lots of fly protection on her such as sheets and masks. This was a great article though.

SOUNDS MISERABLE. I LIKE TO APPLY FLY SPRAY EVERY DAY, EVEN IF THE BOTTLE SAYS UP TO 14 DAYS. YEA RIGHT. I FOCUS ON LEGS, STOMACH AND SHEATH AREA, AND FACE. IT SEEMS IF I TRY TO COAT THEIR BODIES DOWN, THEY GO ROLL IN THE DUST AFTER I APPLY! (ARGH!) IM USING FLY ELIMINATORS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. I GUESS THEY ARE WORKING, BECAUSE SO FAR, WE DONT HAVE A TON OF FLIES AROUND THE BARN. IF THE FLY POPULATIONS STAYS DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER, I WILL BE ORDERING THOSE ELIMINATORS FOR SURE NEXT SPRING!

My horses get bites across their chest in a row, that looks like they cut themselves on barbed wire, but the sand mites do this.
