· What is Beelzebug Concentrate?
Beelzebug Concentrate is a thick paste, which is
diluted in warm water. It can be sponged or sprayed on and is left to
dry. It should not be rinsed out. Beelzebug
Concentrate is particularly useful in getting rid skin mites or heel
mites in heavy and cobby horses since their feathers do not have to be
removed for the application to be effective. This is particularly useful
if showing or competing. Each leg can simply be stood in the solution
(tubbed) for about 5 minutes and then left to dry naturally.
· How does it work?
The main principle on which it works is known as an anti-feedant principle.
This means that it stops the flies and bugs from actually biting to get
a blood meal. Proteins in Beelzebug Concentrate disrupt the feeding mechanisms
of biting insects and it is the biting that causes the irritation and
starts the horse itching and rubbing.
· How is it different to Beelzebug Oil?
Firstly, it is water-soluble whereas Beelzebug
Oil is vegetable oil based. Secondly, it contains slightly less active
ingredient, otherwise the applications are the same, i.e. it will help
get rid of and repel all external biting and blood-sucking insects and
bugs.
· Will it work on other flies, such as horse
flies?
Yes, it is good for all external biting / blood-sucking insects and bugs
like fleas, ticks, lice etc. It can also be used to treat mites that infest
the feathers of heavy horses, cobs and some native ponies.
· Can it be used on
dogs and other pets?
Yes, it is equally effective at controlling flea,
mite or lice infestations in dogs, llamas, alpacas, guinea pigs etc. especially
if they can be bathed in the solution on a regular basis to clear up and
then control the infestation. The solution can also be used to disinfest
stables, kennels, catteries etc. by spraying or washing out.
