Swat
"I use Swat on small scraps. It stays on well. I also use it in the summer to repel flys on my horse's legs, underbelly, and face."
Farnam® SWAT® Fly Repellent Ointment is a gentle salve that protects wounds and abrasions from insects. It repels and kills house flies, stable flies, face flies, horn flies, mosquitoes, and gnats for hours, and is also effective in killing and deterring fleas, biting lice, and ticks on dogs. Simply apply the ointment on your horse or dog’s wounds and abrasions for optimal results as well as other sensitive areas, like the face, nose, belly, and ears.
Directions for use: Apply the ointment directly to superficial wounds, abrasions, sores, and scratches. Make sure you apply enough ointment to cover the wound and use it daily. Do not apply the salve on animals under 12 weeks of age.

"I use Swat on small scraps. It stays on well. I also use it in the summer to repel flys on my horse's legs, underbelly, and face."
"our geldings get eaten alive by bugs and this product keeps them from getting bitten!"
"SWAT works great to keep pesky flies from gathering around my boys eyes and hoof area while they are grazing. A little goes a long way! I also apply under their jaw area, between their legs, on the rear below tail, and belly to deter those nasty no-see-um's. I highly recommend to keep a container in the saddle bag for trail use."
"I use swat in special places on my horse. During particular fly outbreaks, I spread it on lower legs and stifles. Sometimes underbelly. Helps to bolster the fly spray which is applied all over. During fire ant season, I find some swat rubbed well into the heel bulbs really prevents most ant bites on the heels and even up the legs. It’s nice in that it’s effects last for several days as well. I always have swat in my arsenal! Product arrived fresh and well packaged from Schneiders."
"My draft gets lots of bug bites on his belly and insides of his legs. This product keeps him comfortable!"
"We have used SWAT for many years. Great product. We use on our farm for our dogs and horses. I even put a little swat on the end of their tails to swat the swat around the back ends. Great for fleas and ear mites too. All around amazing product and doesn't effect our sensitive horse's skins."
"Never go into Spring or Summer without Swat! Just a little smear on the tip of my thumb in each ear will prevent those pesky biting ear gnats and keep my horse happy. No more head shaking or nasty little red blood spots in his ears. Works great!"
"Horses although graceful, tend to get scrapes and cuts. Swat works great in keeping flies off those sensitive areas and allow them to heal without flies swarming all over."
"Good to keep flys off any scrapes. I use this regularly during fly season"
"Swat is great. My mare gets a summer sore on her belly and this stuff really helps keep it at bay."
