Yes, Desecticide is safe for horses when used as directed, making it an excellent choice for equine pest control in barns, stables, and pastures. This natural contact insecticide is formulated with clove bud oil as its primary active ingredient. Clove bud oil is rich in eugenol, a plant-derived compound widely recognized for its natural insecticidal, antimicrobial, and analgesic properties.

Why Clove Bud Oil (Eugenol) is Horse-Friendly:

Eugenol works by disrupting the nervous systems of pests like flies, mosquitoes, and mites—without harming larger animals like horses. Unlike synthetic insecticides that may contain pyrethrins or permethrins (which can be toxic to certain animals), eugenol is a biodegradable, botanically derived oil that is gentler on both animals and the environment.

Safe Use Around Horses Includes:

• Direct application on horses (avoiding eyes, nostrils, and open wounds)
• Spraying on tack, blankets, and grooming areas
• Treating stalls, feeders, and barn perimeters to control flies, gnats, and other pests

Desecticide is free from harsh chemicals and is non-toxic when used according to label instructions, making it a safe and effective choice for equine use.

Usage Tips:

• Shake well before each use.
• For topical application, spray lightly and brush into the coat.
• For environmental control, spray onto stall walls, bedding, and feeding areas.
• Always spot test on sensitive-skinned horses before full use.

Important Precautions:

• Not for use on foals under 12 weeks of age unless approved by a veterinarian.
• Do not apply near the eyes or mucous membranes.
• Store out of direct sunlight to preserve natural oils.

Desecticide is ideal for natural horse fly control and contributes to a safer, cleaner stable environment without relying on synthetic chemicals.
