Deer Fly

Catherine Brown

Does Battles Horse and Fly Repellent guard against deer fly? Thank you

  • VioVet Staff

Yes, Battles Horse & Cattle Fly Repellent Liquid is generally effective against a wide range of flies, including deer flies. It contains pyrethroids, which are insecticides that target and repel various species of flies, such as stable flies, horse flies, and deer flies

Use on calves

Liz

Is this safe to use on calves, they are over a month old

  • VioVet Staff

As you are already under the direction of a vet, unfortunately we are unable to provide any further advice. We would suggest that you contact your vet on this occasion as they already have a treatment plan set out for you.

The better option for a fly repellent for sheep and lamb is:

Is this safe for use on dogs

Zena Thomas

Can you use this on dogs ears as mine are being badly bitten by horse cattle flies

  • VioVet Staff

I have contacted the manufacturer who have advised the following:
It is only for horses and cattle, so we can not say that it is safe for dogs.

Therefore we unfortunately cannot advise it's use on your dog. There are fly protectants available for dogs though which I advise using instead, such as Scalibor.

20 April 2022 at 8:18am

Is this the same?

Kiki

I wanted to know if this product has the same ingredients as Deoscet?

  • VioVet Staff

This formulation contains DEET and PMD whilst Deosect contains Cypermethrin. These are different ingredients.
