• Deosect 20ml diluted with 1 litre Water
• Deosect 100ml diluted with 5 litres Water

Adult horses:
500 ml of diluted solution per animal.
Ponies:
125 ml of diluted solution per animal.
Fly Control:
The application of the solution should commence at the onset of the fly season and be repeated monthly for general fly control and every two weeks for severe head and face fly control.
Lice Control:
Apply when lice are observed and repeat as necessary at a minimum interval of 14 days.
What our vet says
"This is a long-lasting spray and highly effective. Remember that you must dilute this before use. Always read the instructions carefully before using. A good tip is to keep your horses eyes clean and dry so as not to attract more flies and also keep fly masks spotlessly clean."
