Insects may still land on the


horse, but do not remain on the treated area for long. The pest may still swarm around the ani- mal, but not land. Permethrin is one of the longer lasting chemi- cals used in insect repellents. Follow application directions stated on the label. http://pesti- cideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp ?Rec_Id=PC35397 Piperonyl Butoxide Tech-


nical – a synergist. PBO has no repellent or insecticidal proper- ties on its own. It prevents insec- ticides from being broken down by insects, allowing more time for the active ingredient to work. Prallethrin – a pyrethroid


(synthetic) insecticide. It pro- vides quick knockdown of insects when applied directly on them. Prallethrin is highly toxic to aquatic life. It can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. It should not be inhaled. Follow application directions on the product. Pyrethrin (pyrethrum) –


botanical insecticide and repel- lent. Pyrethrin is extracted from the blossom of the chrysanthe- mum plant which is grown pri- marily in Africa and India. Availability of pyrethrin is erratic due to growing conditions, this causes shortages and price fluctu- ation. Pyrethrin also breaks down quickly in sunlight.

(pyrethroid) chemicals (see cyperme- thrin, permethrin, prallethrin and resmethrin). Insects have not devel- oped resistance to natural pyrethrin; they are becoming resistant to pyrethroids. Pyrethrins are classified as having a low or moderate toxicity level, according to the EPA, when used according to the product’s direc- tions. http://pesticideinfo.org/De- tail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC34291 PyGanic – a proprietary form of


pyrethrin which has been listed with the Organic Materials Review Insti- tute (OMRI). The pyrethrin has been certified organic and is approved for use on organic farms. http://www.omri.org/ Resmethrin – an insecticide and


repellent. It is a pyrethroid and clos- est to natural pyrethrin. It is very ef- fective in controlling mosquitoes. The EPA rates it as a low toxicity chemical when used according to di- rections. Avoid inhaling the spray.


http://pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemi cal.jsp?Rec_Id=PC34303 Wormwood – may be used as a


natural insect repellent. It is ex- tracted from the wormwood plant, a perennial bush. It produces a strong odor and has a bitter taste that may repel insects. After doing the research I’ve de-


cided the product for my horse will contain pyrethrin, piperonyl butox- ide, a sun screen and be water based. I’m going shopping! Be sure to follow the directions
