Beelzebug is a light oil which is rubbed
in and helps to stop itching and rubbing. Beelzebug is extremely effective
against flies, midges, mites, bugs, lice, ticks and all biting insects.
It has been used with equally good effect on donkeys, llamas, dogs,
cats, sheep and a number of smaller animals. Beelzebug works by discouraging
the feeding mechanism of biting/blood-sucking insects so that they can
no longer feed or bite once they have landed on it.
To help prevent itching and flies from landing we recommend that you give
your horse/pony a thorough 'once over' on the first application. To do
this you rub some Beelzebug onto the tips of ears (inside and out), into
the mane (working it into the roots, then proceed along the back and round
the tail area, making sure that the Beelzebug is getting well into the
skin on both sides of the spine and mane. Next, apply to the chest and
belly, finally rubbing a bit into each fetlock. The face can be done using
a small sponge or cloth, and dab on carefully, avoiding the area near
the eyes. Thereafter, top up weekly (in average conditions) or twice weekly
in extreme conditions. If your horse or pony has already started rubbing
and has removed areas of mane, tail and/or rubbed areas of skin until
sore and broken, then apply Beelzebug as described above in the thorough
'once over'. Then, for the following three days top up, sparingly, the
areas where he has been rubbing. After this initial 3 day application,
reduce to applying once or twice a week to suit local conditions. We recommend
that you give your horse a clean with Unlox cleanser (or a good proprietary
baby shampoo or other mild type shampoo) from time to time to prevent
a build-up of Beelzebug on the coat.
