Blue Creek Bug Dope

Rub a small amount of paste into the chest, cinch, groin, and ear area and it works for days! Outfitters also use it on scalds, rubs, and small wounds. It has a distinct outdoor pine odor. It repels all flies including horse flies, sand flies, gnats, no-see-ums and mosquitoes. Flies and bugs can drive a horse to extreme restlessness and create a dangerous, nervous, high energy animal.

There are times when the horses are turned out to feed, and they appear determined to head out. Watch them closely. If their tails are swishing and noses snorting it could be that flies have got them on the move. Black flies, sand flies, deerflies and “no-see-ums” can turn the horse’s chest and groin into a bloody mess. Mosquitoes and horseflies also transmit disease, including West Nile Virus and Swamp Fever.

Blue creek bug dope is a true and tested recipe that works better and lasts longer than on-the-shelf products – guaranteed!
