Swat Insecticide for Horses is a ready-to-use product containing the pyrethroid insecticide Permethrin in a non-irritating oil-based formulation with high residual efficacy against biting and nuisance flies and biting midges (Culicoides spp.) the causal agents of Queensland Itch on horses.

Swat Insecticide For Horses is a ready-to-use repellent containing the pyrethroid insecticide Permethrin in a low irritant, oil-based formulation. Its low irritant formula doesn’t contain alcohol (present in most fly sprays), therefore it won’t sting if the horse has been bitten.

Applied no more than once a week, Swat’s highly concentrated formula protects against buffalo flies, stable flies and sand flies.

Swat Insecticide For Horses will give effective control of biting and nuisance flies when used as directed. The level and duration of control may be reduced due to high fly pressure or on working horses due to the effects of perspiration.

Queensland itch is very common in the northern parts of Australia. However, it is not confined to these areas as it occurs wherever sand flies exist. When the horse is bitten by a sand fly, small bumps
develop on the skin. Because the lumps are intensely itchy the horse rubs itself, causing loss of hair. Serum oozes from the skin and causes scabs to form. In chronic cases, the skin becomes thickened and corrugated, especially along the flank, neck, buttocks and tail.

Tips For Use

General Directions:

Swat Insecticide for Horses will give effective control of biting and nuisance flies when used as directed. The level and duration of control may be reduced due to high fly pressure or on working horses due to the effects of perspiration.

Application:

For the first application of Swat with a new Wipe-on Applicator Mitt, cloth or towell.
Application is best used while wearing a disposable rubber glove.
Charge the mitt with twice the dosage (60 ml for large horses) and work the product into the absorbent material of the mitt/cloth by the movement of the hand inside the mitt/cloth.
The preferred method of treatment is to apply as a whole-body wipe, paying special attention to where pests congregate.
The following steps act as an easy guide for applying Swat:
- After the initial charge, apply half the required dosage (15ml for a large horse) to one side of the horse.
- Apply the first sweep of the mitt along the mane, down the middle of the back to the tailhead.
- Run the mitt down the front leg (front and back) several times.
- Use the mitt in long sweeping motions over the rest of the body (ribs, withers, shoulder, rump, face and ears)
- Apply the remaining product over the rest of the body (sides, shoulder and belly) including the face (being careful not to get the product in their eyes).
- Apply the second half dosage to the other side of the animal using the same procedure as outlined above.
- Return the mitt and bottle to a storage bag or zip-seal bag.
- Wash hands and protective gloves.
For Sandflies – wipe neck, withers and around the tailhead.
For Buffalo Flies – wipe sides, shoulders and belly. Apply as directed above.
For Stable Flies – wipe legs, shoulders and belly.

Refer to directions for use for mixing instructions and use directions prior to use.

Application Tips:

For dirty horses, shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
Wear protective Swat Applicator Mitt when applying.
Shake well before using.
Loosen the cap and squeeze bottle to fill the measure chamber with the required dosage.
Remove cap and apply to Applicator Mitt.
Apply 3 to 6 ml per 100kg body weight, depending on targeted pests, up to a maximum of 30ml per animal.
Swat Insecticide for Horses is a rain-resistant formulation but in management situations where horses are regularly shampooed and washed the product can be become depleted on the horse’s hair coat. In these cases, the impregnated mitt can be used more regularly without recharging especially in areas where pests congregate.
