Summer time is insect time! Although insects are an enormously important part of our environment in terms of biodiversity, flies, mosquitoes and ticks can also be annoying. Insect bites can have unpleasant consequences not only for humans but also for horses and can trigger skin rashes, sweet itch or infectious diseases.
Instead of fighting insects, we recommend repelling them by protecting yourself.
Supplementary feed such as Eggersmann Mineral Bricks Garlic or Eggersmann Profi Garlic Plus Pellets affect the insects' sense of smell. As a regular addition to the feed, the garlic products can provide relief due to the sulphurous smell. Permeated through the horse's sweat glands, mosquitoes, flies and horseflies find this smell very unpleasant and mostly stay away.
The products of the Bense & Eicke brand also use the insects' sense of smell to keep them away from the horse. Similar to mosquito sprays for humans, the horse is simply sprayed with BremsenSchock, BrummerControl or horse deodorant. The smells, which are hardly perceptible or even positively perceived by the horse and rider, have an unattractive or even deterrent effect on the insects.
