When should I start using SimpliFly?
Before fly season begins in your geographic region. When the first adult flies are seen, you want to have your horse(s) already dropping treated manure so that these first flies don’t reproduce successfully.

How long does it take to become effective once I start to feed it to my horse?
One of our studies demonstrated some activity 24 hours after initial feeding; however, you should expect to see results within 2 weeks. For best results, we recommend that you start feeding SimpliFly early in the year before adult flies begin to appear. Nevertheless, you can begin feeding even after adult flies are present and still achieve significant reduction in fly populations.

Does it kill adult flies?
No. SimpliFly has no effect on adult flies. By killing fly larvae, SimpliFly targets fly problems at the source. SimpliFly is intended to be part of an integrated fly control program. Fly sprays and adulticides should be used to kill any remaining adult flies.

What fly species does it kill?
SimpliFly kills larvae of house flies and stable flies. Both species are considered filth flies that feed and breed in manure and other decaying organic matter. On the average, a female fly lays between 500 and 1,000 eggs in her lifetime.

Is SimpliFly safe for mares in gestation and lactation?

Any possible side effects of SimpliFly?

How can we be sure SimpliFly is safe for all sizes of horses?

Are there any contraindications when using SimpliFly in conjunction with a paste or daily dewormer?
E.P.A. has approved SimpliFly as a “feed-through” fly control. There are no contraindications with any equine dewormers.

How safe is SimpliFly for the animal’s gastrointestinal tract?

The bolus remains in the animal’s stomach for up to 5 months, constantly releasing Dimilin into the manure to control flies.
