Not only are flies annoying, but they can also spread disease and cause pain to your horse. Breaking the fly life cycle with an IGR (insect growth regulator) is one way to effectively control these harmful pests around your barn. Solitude IGR™ is an equine feed-through fly preventative that provides continuous fly control and dramatically reduces house fly and stable fly populations.
Solitude IGR™ contains the active ingredient cyromazine, an insect growth regulator that is species-specific to house flies and stable flies. After a horse consumes cyromazine, it is excreted in the manure where house and stable flies lay their eggs to develop into larvae. As maggots feed on the manure, cyromazine prevents them from successfully developing into adult flies, therefore killing the immature flies. Within 4-6 weeks, the overall fly population is significantly reduced as existing adult flies die off. Studies have shown Solitude IGR™ to be 100% effective against house fly larvae and 99.5% effective against stable fly larvae, without effecting horses, other mammals or beneficial insects.
For optimum fly control, conventional pesticide sprays or fly baits should still be used to control existing adult fly populations and migratory adult flies coming from neighboring areas. Solitude IGR™ is an alfalfa-based, pelleted formula safe for use in all horses, including pregnant mares, stallions, foals and minis, as well as donkeys and mules. Regardless of age or weight, mix 1 (0.5 oz) scoop daily into your horse's ration. To maximize product effectiveness, horses should be fed individually, not in groups.
Supplied as either a 6 lb or 20 lb bucket of pellets. One 6 lb bucket contains 192 doses, and one 20 lb bucket contains 640 doses.
