Farnam Broncoe Fly Spray Plus Citronella 128 oz Insecticide

Description

Product Overview

Farnam Broncoe Fly Spray Plus Citronella is a premium, water‑based insecticide designed for equine and canine use as well as for protecting stable and barn environments. The formula combines a potent blend of insect‑killing agents with natural citronella oil, delivering rapid knock‑down of flies, ticks, fleas, lice, chiggers, deer ticks, gnats, and mosquitoes while providing a lingering repellent effect. Packaged in a 128 oz (3.8 L) gallon refill, the product is ready‑to‑use, non‑oily, and leaves no greasy residue on animal coats or surfaces. Its balanced pH and gentle surfactants make it safe for daily application on horses, dogs, and surrounding premises without causing skin irritation. The spray can be applied directly to the animal’s coat, in doorways, on stable walls, or dispersed as a mist in the air to reduce pest populations throughout the facility.

Usage

For optimal results, apply the spray in the early morning or late evening when flies are most active. Thoroughly coat the horse’s mane, tail, and body, ensuring coverage of the legs and underbelly where insects often congregate. For dogs, mist the coat lightly, avoiding the eyes and nose, and repeat every 3‑4 days during peak fly season. In barns and stables, mist doorways, feed troughs, and wall surfaces to create a protective barrier that deters insects from entering the area. The water‑based nature of the product allows for easy cleanup; any excess can be wiped away with a damp cloth without leaving stains. When used as a mist in the air, the citronella scent helps to mask the animal’s natural attractants, further reducing the likelihood of bites. The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, making it versatile for pastures, paddocks, and indoor arenas.

Can I use the spray on other livestock such as cattle or goats?

The product is primarily marketed for horses and dogs, but it can be safely used on other livestock when applied according to the label instructions. Test a small area first to ensure there is no adverse reaction.
