  Discussion on Insecticide ear tags - safe for horses?

Posted on Wednesday, Mar 12, 2003 - 4:32 pm:

I recently saw the insect repellent cattle ear tags in a catalog and wondered if anyone thought these might 1) be helpful in repelling insects and 2) be safe for use with horses.

Different brands use different insecticides - are any more or less dangerous for horses?

I tried the Freedom Spot On one summer, but didn't really notice that it helped.

With WNV becoming more entrenched, my mare's bug allergies, etc. I started wondering if a couple of these on her turnout halter would be helpful.

Any new news on these?

Thanks!
