Vetsense Permetrol Insecticidal Spray Concentrate 250mL – Fly, Flea & Tick Treatment for Horses & Dogs

Vetsense Permetrol Insecticidal Spray Concentrate 250mL: Fly, Flea & Tick Control for Horses & Dogs

Vetsense Permetrol is an insecticidal spray and rinse concentrate for horses and dogs, formulated with 40 g/L permethrin (25:75 cis:trans). It's a versatile, dilute-and-spray treatment for biting insects and parasites, and it doubles as a zone-control product for treating the animal's environment. The 250mL concentrate makes up a large volume of working solution, so it's economical for regular use through the fly and flea season.

For Horses

Permetrol controls pyrethroid-sensitive flies, including buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua), stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) and biting insects (Culicoides sp.), and it's an aid in the treatment of Queensland Itch (Culicoides bite hypersensitivity). Spray as required for fly nuisance. For Queensland Itch, spray twice weekly until symptoms settle, then as needed.

For Dogs

On dogs, Permetrol controls fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ct. canis) and ticks (adult Rhipicephalus sp.), and it's an aid in the treatment of allergic dermatitis (summer eczema). For heavy flea burdens, combine treatment of the dog with zone control of its environment.

How to Use

Dilute 10 mL of concentrate per 400 mL of water and spray directly onto the animal. If rapid drying is needed, such as before a show, it can be diluted in methylated spirits instead, but the metho dilution should not be used on broken skin. In paralysis tick areas, use daily and still physically search for and remove any ticks, as no spray replaces daily tick searching.

For flea zone control, clean bedding and resting areas, then spray the surrounding environment, kennels, bedding, rugs, floats and stables, with the diluted product, and vacuum and clean regularly. Treat all pets in the home with a suitable product and continue through the season.
