How to control flies around horses
The most effective strategy starts with consistently removing manure and soiled bedding at least daily, ensuring proper drainage, and keeping feed areas clean and sealed. Beyond sanitation, horse owners can use fly traps, sticky tapes, automatic misting systems, fans to disrupt fly movement, and premise sprays throughout the barn, while also applying fly repellents directly to horses during turnout.
Is feed thru fly control safe for horses?
Feed-through fly control products, like those containing Diflubenzuron (the active ingredient in products like Solitude IGR), are generally considered safe for horses when used as directed, as they work by passing through the horse's digestive system and preventing fly larvae from developing in the manure rather than acting as a systemic insecticide. However, they should not be used in horses intended for human consumption, and it is always advisable to consult your veterinarian before introducing any new feed additive, particularly for pregnant mares, foals, or horses with known health conditions.
What is the best fly control for horses?
The best fly control for horses is widely regarded as an integrated pest management approach that combines feed-through fly control, topical fly sprays and wipe-on repellents for direct protection, fly masks and fly sheets as physical barriers, and barn-wide premise sprays or automatic misting systems to reduce the overall fly population. Combining multiple methods creates a significantly more effective and lasting solution.
What is the most effective fly control solution for horses?

What pest control is safe for horses?
Pest control products considered safe for use around horses include pyrethin and permethrin-based sprays when applied as directed, essential oil-based natural repellents for horses sensitive to chemicals and biological controls such as parasitic wasps that target fly pupae in manure. These do not pose any risk to horses or humans. It is important to avoid using products containing DEET in high concentrations, certain organophosphates, or any pesticide not explicitly labeled for equine use, as these can cause adverse reactions. Always read labels carefully and when in doubt, consult your veterinarian.
