Jungle Formula Maximum Insect Repellent 50ml - Roll-On Repellent for Long-Lasting Protection - with DEET - Maximum Level of Protection against Mosquitoes

Product Information

Products with an oil foundation generally last longer than water-based ones. Those with essential oils or other natural ingredients may not have a clear duration listed on the label (for example, some may have vague instructions like “apply liberally” and “reapply as needed”), so you’ll need to play it more by ear with those. UltraShield EX can be sprayed directly on a horse’s skin, or can be used as an area spray, driving insects away from stable stalls, trash cans, and more. It’s safe for use on horses of all ages, and is also effective for use with dogs (but shouldn’t be used on foals or puppies younger than 12 weeks). An innovative way to disrupt the life cycle of horse flies and other pests, this product uses an insect growth regulator which is ingested by horses and excreted in their manure. A tasty addition to nearly any animal’s horse feed, it works throughout the warm season to help make your horse more comfortable and free of pests.

Mosquitoes: Larvae develop in standing water or partially aquatic areas; can transmit several strains of encephalitis, West Nile Virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) which causes serious neurological disruption in horses; most often (but not always) active and feed at night. Rinse off horses when they get sweaty and wash their stalls of urine in addition to removing manure While the method of application will vary, most spray or topical pest management solutions are best applied after bathing and brushing the horse, so the product can be applied to a clean, dry coat for maximum efficacy.

There are two glass protecting products on test here: a glass compound for preparing the glass to be cleaned and a roll-on rain repellent. Ergonomics are at the forefront of the SOFT99 mantra, with both products featuring a built-in applicator and a simple way to dispense the product (squeeze the body). This article was researched and written by KJ Callihan, a writer for The Spruce, who has worked in animal shelters, where she helped socialize animals for adoption, and fostered animals of various kinds. She also writes for CNET, AAA Northeast magazine, and more,

To put it simply, use both together and you'll get effective long-lasting protection. Better still, there is no juddering from the wipers when they're in use, which can be an issue with some cheaper rain repellents. Paula Hitzler, Manager of Michigan State University’s Horse Teaching and Research Center, emphasized a similar approach in advice provided to The Spruce Pets. “We export all our manure off of the farm and that has significantly reduced our fly problem.” To control pests near your horses, a multi-pronged approach with an emphasis on debris management works best. Our favorite horse fly spray is Absorbine UltraShield EX Insecticide & Repellent, because of its 17-day effectiveness, multiple uses, and the wide range of insect species it kills or repels. If you’d prefer a non-spray alternative, which can be particularly useful for repelling flies from around eyes, mouths, and other senstive areas, we recommend Farnam Endure Roll-On, which is weatherproof, effective for seven days, and useful against a wide range of flying, biting bugs. What to Look for in a Horse Fly Spray or Repellent Application

Horse flies: Known for their remarkably large eyes, these big biters are able to fly very fast. Their mouth parts are scissor-like and cut holes in the tissue they bite. They prefer to grow their larvae in aquatic settings, and as such are more often encountered near a water source. When using a product for the first time, begin by applying to a small patch of your horse’s skin to test if they demonstrate skin irritation or other reactions.

Verdict

When using a spray, adjust the nozzle to a stream and apply gently. Some sprays direct you to brush the product into the coat after spraying on. Roll-on products, creams, and other forms of pest repellent should be used as directed. Reapply at the interval instructed on the label. In a word, yes. SOFT99 claims that the Glaco is an 'invisible wiper' and will remove the requirement of wipers at commuting speed (SOFT99 makes it clear you should use your wipers anyway) and in our experience, rainwater does bead off the glass effectively. We tried the Roll-On on both treated (with the compound) and untreated cars, and the difference in performance was rather clear. Gnats (also called biting midges): Also called no-see-ums, these tiny creatures also prefer breeding areas near water. Can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and swelling where they bite.

The usual rule of thumb has been that the better the protection, the more complex and expensive the application. SOFT99 aim to change this with an affordable, simple to apply rain repellent that offers long-term hydrophobic protection. What is it?Face flies: Feed with spongy mouth-parts only around the animals’ face, particularly the nose and eyes; capable of transmitting eye-worms. This fly requires fresh cow manure for egg-laying and larval development. Absorbine’s Insecticide & Repellent is available in a 32-ounce spray bottle and a gallon refill size. Before applying any product to your horse, it’s important to read the label thoroughly, as the chemicals in fly spray often have limitations, with instructions that will tell you how to avoid irritating sensitive skin or contaminating water and food.
