User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it last after spraying around the doors
Answer:	I think so, but you will see the amount of flies reach above the label if you have a large amount in container .
Question:	Does this product also kill honeybees? It's for use on on dogs; indicates it kills fleas, ticks, and flies; also kills a zillion other critters
Answer:	Yes you can dump the flies and reuse the container, but you would have to use new bait. You can get new bait on Amazon.
Question:	Is this oil based
Answer:	No, but if your problem with fruit flies is an indoor problem there is an easy, inexpensive solution. Just put some apple cider vinegar in a glass with some water (about a 50/50 mix) with a few drops of dish detergent. Set it next to where the fruit flies gather. You'll be surprised how many it will attract. It won't get all of them, but it'll get the majority of them. Just check the bottom of the glass occasionally and you'll see the little buggers laying there.
Question:	Does this repel fleas
Answer:	I have 4 dogs so we a lot of flys and it works well. Yes, I believe they will attract the green head flys , wherever there are fly’s , it will attract.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a concentrate
Answer:	We were at the county fair about 6 years ago and there was a lady spraying something on all of the animals pigs, chicken, dogs, cows everything. We asked her what it was and it was this product. I looked at the reviews and looked online ended up seeing a close up shot of the picture of the ingredients and it's mostly citronella. I do not know how to post a picture on here or I would. We do not have the problem anymore and so I do not know where the bottle is. I wish you luck but it did solve our problem and it didn't hurt our dogs.

User questions & answers

Question:	willthis work on horse flys
Answer:	No it does not. Only the queen and king size do. My daughter loves hers but uses it as a throw on her couch. Warm and toasty and no wires to be felt. She loves it. Hope this was helpful.
Question:	Can it be used on cattle
Answer:	The controller itself sits right next to my head, and the plug is at the bottom of the blanket. In a king size blanket, like mine, there are two controls and there are two plugs at the bottom. I have only one arm that works, my left arm, and I do fine using it. If yo can reach an alarm clock sitting on the table say next to you, then you can reach this.
Question:	How many ounces are in this container
Answer:	the one I bought is throw size ... 62 x 50 inches... they have other sizes
Question:	Is this a concentrate
Answer:	It's machine washable with special instructions tons on blanket or you can wash by hand

Product description

Insects choose a “victim” via a complex interaction between visual and chemical cues. Some animals (and people) are more attractive to pests than others. In our equine friends, coat color, level of activity, carbon dioxide output and odors secreted by the horse all play a role. The normal output of chemical smells acts like a signal to the insect’s guidance system to help it find and attack its potential food source.  Research has shown that certain fatty acids act as insect attractants, while others are repellents. Ecovet uses a proprietary mixture of naturally occurring fatty acids that confuses and overwhelms the insect’s normal directional ability, so the insect is unable to locate your horse as its next victim. It’s like having a GPS system that is shouting confusing and conflicting directions at you … until you finally give up. Flies can transform your easygoing horse into a stressed-out, over-reactive mess. Until now, you had two choices for repelling flies, toxic pesticides or essential oils, which offer limited effectiveness. Ecovet introduces a bio rational, or less toxic, approach to protect your friend from pests. Ecovet is a whole new way to protect your horse, yourself and your family. Ecovet is a less toxic but effective solution to get rid of annoying pests. It is extremely effective: Flies will not land on a horse thanks to the Ecovet barrier. Compared to other products, it is safer for horses and for the humans applying the product. The active ingredients are naturally derived fatty acids – not toxic chemicals. It is effective on many types of flies, ticks, mosquitoes and lice and has clinically shown improvement for horses with difficult-to-treat sweet itch problems (hypersensitivity reaction to midge bites). It is safe for horses’ sensitive skin and has a non-sensitizing formula. There are no known resistance problems and no known reactions on honeybees. It is available in 18 oz bottle or a gallon refill size.

• Real alternative to toxic pesticides;active ingredients are food-grade fatty acids
• Extremely effective: Flies will not land on a horse thanks to the Ecovet barrier
• Safer for horses and for the humans applying the product
• Effective on many types of flies, ticks, mosquitoes and lice for insect control on your horse.
• Has clinically shown improvement for horses with difficult-to-treat sweet itch problems (hypersensitivity reaction to midge bites)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this toxic
Answer:	I used it last summer and didn't seem to kill any horses with it! If you read the description it says non-toxic. It is strong so don't take a deep breath when are spraying it or you will cough a bit.
Question:	Does this attract predator animals like bears/lions
Answer:	I don't have any lions but have had no issues with coyotes, fox or bear. It does not have the most pleasant sent so I doubt any animal would be 'attracted' to it. Works well!
Question:	I ordered this last week, and it didn’t come with a sprayer. Was that supposed to be included
Answer:	It depends on what size you ordered. If you ordered the little bottle (like the photo) then, yes, it was supposed to have a sprayer. I order the gallon (refill) size and put it in my own spray bottle. I assume this came from Ecovet (and not a middle man supplier). You might contact their customer service directly and ask for a sprayer or just spend a few buck on a spray bottle like at Walmart.
Question:	Can this be used on goats
Answer:	This product contains no chemicals and can be used on humans also. I would think that it would be safe for goats. Probably should contact the company to be sure.

The new standard in insect control

Research has shown that certain fatty acids act as insect attractants, while others are repellents.

A novel approach to protecting your friend...

Made from a proprietary mixture of 3 food grade fatty acids. As it evaporates, it provides a 'barrier' of protections that repels and kills multiple types of insects.

A Legacy More Than 125 Years in the Making

Every day at Absorbine is a celebration of a legacy that began with a truly extraordinary couple: Mary Ida and Wilbur F. Young.

A labor of love, they set out to find an alternative to the common 19th-century practice of “blistering” lame horses. Knowing there had to be a better, more humane way, Mary Ida developed a special blend of herbs into an essential oils tincture, and Wilbur rounded out the formula with a few more natural ingredients using knowledge he gained working part time for a pharmacist. The result of their teamwork is Absorbine Veterinary Liniment, which has been loved by horse owners for over 125 years.

Through the years we have stayed true to our mission to provide innovative, high quality animal care products. Our products are used by horse owners around the world, and we work hard every day to be The Horse World’s Most Trusted Name.
