Protect your flock against one of the biggest seasonal threats with Barrier Blowfly Repel for Sheep 500ml.

Specially developed to help prevent blowfly strike, this HSE-approved spray repels blowflies, ticks, lice, keds and other biting insects while helping to eliminate maggots where sheep have already been struck. It provides valuable protection throughout the high-risk fly season and is an ideal back-up treatment to routine sheep dipping.

The carefully formulated blend contains natural plant oils with antibacterial and antifungal properties that help soothe irritated skin while supporting the skin's natural recovery. Unlike many traditional treatments, the spray can be applied directly onto raw or damaged areas where fly strike has occurred.

Barrier Blowfly Repel is particularly useful around the tail area and other vulnerable parts of the body where blowflies are most likely to lay eggs. For the best protection, sheep should be clean and dry before application, and dirty or scouring sheep should be cleaned or shorn first. In normal dry weather, protection can last for up to four weeks, although more frequent application may be required during prolonged wet weather.

Suitable for organic farming systems, this easy-to-use spray is trusted by farmers and smallholders throughout the UK to help maintain flock health during the grazing season.
