This non-toxic device features a very sticky glue surface which traps flies as soon as they land on it. As flies are caught on the device, even more of them come in to land, seeing it as a fine spot.
These fly catchers are especially effective in areas with high air movement which are difficult to control with aerosols and like products. Catcher glue is food safe.
Note: Fly catchers are not suitable in very dusty areas. To remove glue from hands or clothes, use some vegetable oil.

Horses: Fly Nuisance (stable fly, buffalo fly, sandfly); Management of Queensland Itch.
Use as a Spray or Rinse
Safe for use on pregnant and lactating animals
Active constituents: 4.0% Permethrin 25:75(cis:trans) A highly effective insecticide and tickicide with insect repellent activity.
Permoxin is a highly effective tickicide and insecticide. In laboratory trials, a single application of Permoxin prevents tick attachment for over two weeks and resulted in greater than 98% flea control for 20 days.
When applied daily to flea allergic dogs, Permoxin repels fleas and gives relief to the pruritic dog. In fact, the high safety margin means that Permoxin can be applied as often as needed, to maintain the repellent action.
Permoxin utilises advanced technology which allows it to bind to clean hair and skin for long acting effectiveness. Peak activity is maintained by regular weekly top up rinses to produce saturation of the hair coat.
Permoxin resists inactivation by light. This ensures a longer duration of action than the natural pyrethrins which decompose rapidly on exposure to air and light
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Dilute to 1:40 (as directed by label) in water, or methylated spirits if a rapid drying spray is required. Spray or rinse as directed.

Horse Fly Repellants & Sprays
Our range of fly repellents and sprays for horses will keep your horse protected from insects. At vet-n-pet DIRECT we have a range of fly sprays, flyveils, creams and both wipe-on and pour-on insecticides to keep your horse comfortable and safe.
How do I stop flies from biting my horses?
There are a number of ways to protect your horse from unwelcome insects. We carry a range of fly spray for horses as well as pour-on repellents which can be applied topically to keep pests away. Fly masks and flyveils are another cost-effective and popular method of keeping flies and insects off your horse’s face and out of their eyes.
Why is it important to keep flies off my horses?
Flies are excellent spreaders of bacteria and they tend to gather around your horse’s eyes or open wounds. To avoid spreading bacteria to these sensitive areas, suitable fly repellent for horses should be used. You may also notice your horse stomping their legs in an attempt to shoo away insects that are bothering them, a behaviour can put horses at risk of injuring their legs and increase their anxiety levels.
How do I apply fly repellent for horses?
Different repellents are available with different application processes. These include horse fly spray, sticky ribbons for use in the stable, creams, lotions or pour-on insecticides. Choose a repellent that suits you and your horse. Many horses are wary of sprays. However, patience in building their confidence with fly spray can pay off over the long term.
What’s the best fly spray for horses in Australia?
The best fly spray for horses in Australia include Flygon, Absorbine UltraShield and Swat Insecticide for horses.
How often should I apply horse fly spray?
Always check the directions included with your chosen repellent for recommended application intervals. Remember that some products will require more frequent reapplication than others, especially in extreme weather conditions such as hot weather where your horse is sweating more.
