Farnam SWAT Fly Repellent Ointment for Horses, Ponies and Dogs, Clear, 7 ounce

Use along legs for fly repellent on horse

Do you have a horse? Better get some of this fly ointment before summer comes. Rub it on their ears to keep the bugs off -- they love it. Safe and effective, and well priced compared to other brands out there (sheesh, why is the cost getting so high on all of the equine stuff?). Very highly recommend. Prevents flies and gnats and other little pestering bugs.

Excelente producto. Lo utilizo para poner alrededor del área de los ojos del ganado para evitar el que las moscas les molesten.

Keeps even those vicious deer flys from landing! We live in the country & the flies are terrible this year for everyone dogs, horses, cattle, and people. I had used Swat years ago when I had horses and knew it worked, but when my pup didn’t even want to go on walks this year because he was constantly being chewed up, I had to do something. So I read up on this product (I research ingredients especially for pups under 8 mths), and decided to give it a try. It was night & day!! The flies did touch & go on him - never landing long enough to bite. What a relief for all!! Don’t over apply - a little goes a LONG way. I have 2 Standard Schnauzers (35-50 lbs) and I use just a little on my finger tips to apply on his ears, top of his head, a dot on the snout, another dab on my fingers & a little around the tail and rear end. I clean my hands off on their backs. Immediate results! Only problem was the flies immediately came for me - so now I put a bit on my hat & they quit buzzing my head. I apply daily because I use such a small amount; this jar will last for years! I shared it with my neighbor & her dog got the same results. One thing to be aware of - when applying to the ears (such thin things) it will absorb into the skin & your dog will taste it. Don’t rub it in, lightly put a streak on the ears and a little more in the hair at the base of the ears. Buy & get back outside with your best friend(s)!

I can apply the ointment directly around a wound area and the flies and gnats are gone and stay away for hours. It's better than a spray when taking care of a wound. Wounds take a long time to heal though, and it's already almost half gone. I would like to have a bigger container with more. Also, the first time I left it in the shed, it melted because it was so hot. This is summer in California; temps are in the 100s right now. I think there should be instruction on the back of the jar to keep in a cool place. I bring it in and keep in the refrigerator. Overall, I really like it!
