Shield Pour-On Fly Repellent for Horses

Shield is a pour-on fly repellent for horses and is the only pour-on fly repellent for horses available. It aids in the control of synthetic pyrethroid susceptible nuisance flies and biting insects and aids in the control of Queensland itch in horses.

Features of Shield:

• Quick and easy to apply.
• Cheaper per application than spray and wipes.
• 250mL treats 1875kg of body weight (Approx 6 horses). 
• 1L treats 7500kg of body weight (approx 24 horses).

Treatment as an aid in the control of nuisance flies should be applied every 6 weeks, or as required depending on insect pressure. The efficacy of SHIELD can be influenced by rain and activities such as brushing, washing, rugging, heavy riding, etc. For best results, allow 12-24 hours for SHIELD to dry before exposing the horse to these activities.
