Every horse owner looks forward to summer, but when it rolls round, it brings with it that irritating problem— flies!!

🦟.. Apart from being obvious nuisances, flies carry diseases and trigger allergic responses through their secretions. Biting flies pierce the skin and transmit toxins, sending the immune system into overdrive.
🦟.. Even more unpleasantly, flies tend to congregate around the horse’s eyes, nose and mouth which causes near enough constant aggravation. These areas are particularly sensitive and next to impossible to scratch. If flies are not kept away, their secretions can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin.
🦟.. Some flies can be particularly nasty as they migrate into the stomach through the mouth and attach to the stomach lining. The horse's gut is one of its most delicate systems so areas can quickly become raw and open to ulceration by stomach acid. Because bot flies interfere with digestion, they can also trigger colic-related illnesses which can be life-threatening.

⭐ Prevention is better than cure!! ⭐

👍🏼 Fly sheet/rug
👍🏼 Stabling/shaded shelter
👍🏼 Repellents
👍🏼 Fly control pellets
👍🏼 UV protection mask
👍🏼 Fly traps
👍🏼 Manure Management
👍🏼 Eliminate standing water and dispose of all wet feed and hay
👍🏼 Reduce larval habitats attractive to flies with regular cleaning and mucking and keeping all edibles for your horse in closed storage bins.

🦟.. Flies love to feed on and lay their eggs in an open wound. This is extremely irritating to the horse and introduces bacteria to the area.
