Dose Control
In order to achieve
the best results with SimpliFly®, each horse must receive one scoop
per day (see label instructions for specific amount based on your
horse'(s) weight). If you do not have the ability to control dosing,
you will not achieve the maximum level of fly control. For example,
if your horses are on pasture 100% of the time, you will not be
able to ensure that each horse receives the appropriate dose .
SimpliFly® with LarvaStop™ is not formulated in a mineral block at
the present time, so there is no convenient way to administer SimpliFly®
with LarvaStop™ to pastured horses.
Location/Neighbors
If your
neighbor has livestock/horses and is not controlling his fly population,
your pest management strategy may be compromised. By feeding SimpliFly®
to the horse(s) on your property, you will effectively control
the development of immature flies; however, the adult flies from
a neighboring operation can travel several hundred feet, thus re-infesting
your stable area. As a result, you will not achieve the maximum
level of fly control possible with SimpliFly®.
Where you stable your horses
If
all horses on the premises are not being fed SimpliFly®, flies can
and will breed in their manure.
In boarding stables, for example, there is no assurance that
others will use SimpliFly®. If you board your horse(s), SimpliFly®
with LarvaStop™ may not be the right solution for you unless you
can mandate that all horses on the premises be treated. |
