A white silicon based emulsion containing a fly repellent and a topical insecticide in ready to use form. Contains permethrin (technical) (25:75) 1.05% w/v and citronellol 2% w/v.
Uses
As a ready-to-use, topical application to repel and kill biting and other flies on horses; as an aid in the control of sweet itch, a condition believed to be caused by the midge Culicoides pulicaris; for the treatment and control of infestations of the biting louse, Damalinia equi. Also shines horses` coats.
Dosage
Apply shortly before working the horse or when flies are troublesome, at the following rate:
- Up to 300 kg bodyweight: 100 ml
- 300 to 500 kg bodyweight: 150 ml
- Over 500 kg bodyweight: Up to 200 ml
No dilution is necessary.
Administration
If the horse is to be groomed, the product should not be applied until after this has been completed.
Shake thoroughly before use.
Pour the product onto the sponge cloth and spread lightly over the horse`s head, neck, body and legs measuring the dose volume against the calibrations on the 600 ml container.
Fly control
Apply shortly before working the horse or when flies are troublesome.
Where flies appear to be troublesome only around the horse`s head and neck a reduced amount may be applied to these parts alone.
Repeat every other day or as necessary.
A treatment will normally give two to four days relief, but longer or shorter protection may occur depending on climatic conditions, the prevailing fly species and the intensity of fly worry.
Louse control
A single application of Coopers Fly Repellent Plus will usually eliminate adult populations of the biting louse Damalinia equi, and viable eggs for up to 3 months. However as this protection is not absolute, it is advisable to repeat treatment after an interval of 14 days. Ensure that the whole body is treated including the head and tail.
Contra-indications
Do not use with other topically applied products.
Avoid application into the horse`s eyes and nostrils or into cuts and abrasions. Do not use on horses intended for human consumption.
Warnings
For external use only.
A small proportion of horses may exhibit a skin reaction following application of the product. The reaction is normally mild and transient resembling nettle rash and usually resolves without the need for any treatment. Application to a small area on the side of the neck before the first use should determine within 24 hours whether such a reaction is likely.
Protection of operators
Avoid prolonged contact with the skin. Impervious gloves should be worn when applying this product. Wash hands and exposed skin before meals or smoking, and after work. In cases of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Protection of livestock, wildlife and others
Dangerous to fish. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with the product or used containers.
Wash out used sponges and keep in a safe place until they are to be disposed of with the empty container(s).
Wash out empty containers thoroughly together with the sponges supplied and dispose of safely by burying in soil or by placing in a refuse bin.
Pharmaceutical precautions: Store in the original container, in a cool place away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
