I have 2 Arabians and this is the second season for my use. No reactions or problems, the horses eat it and the flies are minimal, especially around the manure pile. I conjunction with topical products, you can't beat it!

We own a small breeding farm in south carolina, I have been using this since '04 with fabulous results. I give to everything, even broodmares in foal. Never any problems.Very effective but not harmful. Not even my pickiest eater even notices it in her food. Thats why I buy the big bucket now!

I am so disappointed in this product, esp. in light of all the great reviews I have read and the rec. from my vet. I have used the product in two different situations for four months. One a backyard paddock w/two stalls & two horses that is meticulously maintained, and the next a show barn (stalls cleaned twice daily) where 16 (neighbors) were put on Solitude, also 4 months ago. All I have to do is show you the fly traps to know this has done nothing to curb the flies by any measure. Alas, the claims are just too good to be true.

Essentially 100% fly free!, 8/19/2008

I absolutely hate flies. I have tried sprays, traps, ointments, masks, fly predators, and Equitrol. Solitude works the best by far. With Equitrol, you can smell the pesticide in the manure, and that seems unsafe. Solitude works differently, not killing the flies but preventing them from developing into adulthood, and it is much safer. Sometimes I have to look around for 10 seconds to find a fly, and when I find a second one, I think it might be the first fly coming around again. I hand feed it individually to my horses in pasture every day. It takes me 15 minutes to do 22 horses, and I am fly free. Heaven!

You can't compare this product to Fly Preditors as its 100 times better. I know as I've used Fly Preditors for 5 yrs. There are very few to no flies on my property now and my old horses are very calm out in pasture. I have a Bite Free fly sticky in my barn and that's it. No more flies in there. The difference between the amount of flies that I had last year to what I have now using Solitude is amazing!! I also use PDZ stall freshener which is good too. That's all that I've changed since last year. Fly Preditors have to be ordered when the weather is warm enough for them to live; however, Solitude can be given one month BEFORE the fly season starts and you nip the flies just as they start to come out because your manure has been treated. Get it, you will like it.
