Description
Product Overview
The Chemtech D Prozap Insectrin Dust is a professional‑grade, ready‑to‑use insect control solution designed for a broad range of livestock and companion animals. Packaged in a convenient 2 lb shaker, the dust can be applied directly to the animal’s coat, feathers, or bedding, delivering rapid knock‑down of a wide spectrum of biting and crawling pests. The formulation combines proven active ingredients with a fine, non‑clumping carrier that adheres to hair and feathers, ensuring prolonged residual activity even in humid or dusty environments.
Key specifications include a product dimension of 3.1 × 3.1 × 8.6 inches and a net weight of 2.2 pounds, making it easy to handle and store. The dust is manufactured by Chemtech D, a reputable brand with a history of delivering reliable animal health products. Since its first release on February 2, 2009, the product has earned a solid customer rating of 4.4 stars from over 150 reviews, reflecting consistent performance and user satisfaction.
Formulated without harsh chemicals, the dust is safe for use on beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses, swine, poultry, dogs, and cats when applied according to label directions. The fine particle size allows for even distribution, reducing the risk of over‑application and minimizing waste. The product is not discontinued by the manufacturer, ensuring continued availability for farms and stables that rely on effective fly and tick control.
Usage
Applying Chemtech D Prozap Insectrin Dust is straightforward. For livestock such as cattle and horses, the dust can be sprinkled onto the back, neck, and underbelly where flies commonly land. For poultry, the dust is lightly dusted over the coop bedding and directly onto the birds’ feathers, targeting northern fowl mites and lice. Dogs and cats benefit from a light dusting of the coat, especially during peak fly season, providing a protective barrier without the need for collars or topical sprays.
The dust performs well in a variety of environmental conditions, from humid barns to dry pastures. Its carrier matrix resists moisture absorption, allowing the active ingredients to remain effective even after exposure to rain or dew. Users typically apply the dust once every 7‑10 days during high‑fly activity periods, or as directed for specific infestations. For severe infestations, a second application after 48 hours can enhance control.
When treating bedding, simply sprinkle a thin layer of dust over the straw or wood shavings and work it into the material. This creates an inhospitable environment for larvae and pupae, breaking the life cycle of flies and ticks. The product’s low dust‑off characteristic ensures that animals are not irritated by excess powder, and the scent is neutral, avoiding stress or aversion.

FAQ
How often should I apply the dust to my horses?
For most horse owners, a weekly application during the peak fly season (late spring through early fall) provides effective control. In areas with heavy fly pressure, applying every 5‑7 days or following a two‑dose schedule (initial dose and a repeat after 48 hours) can improve results.
Is the dust safe for dairy cattle?
Yes. The product is formulated to be non‑toxic to mammals and does not leave residues in milk when used according to label instructions. It is widely used on dairy herds to control horn flies and other biting insects without affecting milk quality.
Can I use the dust on my indoor poultry coop?
Absolutely. The dust can be lightly applied to the bedding and directly onto the birds’ feathers. It helps control northern fowl mites, lice, and adult flies while being safe for the birds and the eggs they produce.
What should I do if I notice a mild skin irritation after application?
If mild irritation occurs, rinse the affected area with water and discontinue use until the skin clears. Most animals tolerate the dust well, but individual sensitivities can vary. Contact a veterinarian if irritation persists or worsens.
Does the product work on ticks found on dogs?
Yes. The dust is effective against several tick species when applied to the dog’s coat. For heavy tick infestations, a thorough grooming after treatment helps remove dead ticks and enhances overall control.
