LICE 'N' SIMPLE is a pour-on solution for the control of biting lice on horses. It provides effective control of biting lice Werneckiella (Bovicola) equi on horses, with a single treatment.
LICE 'N' SIMPLE Pour On Lousicide is an insect growth regulator (IGR), not a knock-down insecticide, therefore it does not kill the lice. It stops the nymphs from becoming breeding adults. It controls biting lice (W. equi) by preventing the development of immature lice in the coat and those which hatch from eggs.
LICE 'N' SIMPLE contains the insect growth regulator triflumuron, which interferes with insect chitin synthesis and acts primarily against immature lice, causing death by rupturing the malformed cuticle and/or by insect starvation.
Use LICE’N’SIMPLE Pour-On Equine Lousicide as a single treatment — one application effectively controls biting lice by stopping immature lice from developing into adults. It produces a rapid decline in lice numbers with trial data demonstrating lice control 7 weeks post treatment.
Directions for Use:
Dose horse at 1 mL/10 kg bodyweight. Do not under dose. Using the measuring cup provided, apply in a single continuous strip down the middle of the backline from the poll to the highest point of the rump. In particular, ensure good coverage to the roots of the mane. Do not hose the horse for at least 72 hours after treatment. Treatment during the hottest part of the day is not recommended.

Caused mainly by Sand-fly bites, it occurs in summer months as an irritating inflamation of the skin, first appearing as small pimple type swellings.
The horse then bites, rubs or scratches, causing loss of hair and creating raw areas of skin. This further attracts insects.
DAVID KURITCH has been specially formulated to help overcome this problem and acts in two ways.
Firstly, it soothes the irritated areas thus stopping the horse biting and rubbing, which in turn allows the normal healing process to take place.
Secondly, due to the incorporation of "Moskitox", a powerful repellant, sand-flies and mites are prevented from causing further irritation and this relieves allergic reaction. Years of field experience have proven DAVID KURITCH to be a most effective product for both preventing and healing Queensland Itch or Allergic Dermatitis in horses.
DAVID KURITCH should be applied to the affected areas twice daily for Queensland Itch or Allergic Dermatitis.
As a wound protectant, DAVID KURITCH may be applied directly to surface wounds, minor cuts or abrasions.
Flies and insects are repelled thus avoiding infections.
Active Constituents:
Moskitos (N.N. Diethyl-M-toluamide)
Citronella Oil
Pack Size: 500ml

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

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.

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?
