Carr Day & Martin Flygard Protector Advanced Insect Killer – 1 Litre

Carr & Day & Martin Flygard Protector Insect Killer – 1 Litre

Flygard Protector is not a fly spray for horses — it is a heavy-duty insecticidal stable spray for treating the environment the horse lives in. The active is cypermethrin, and the product works as both a surface treatment and a space spray, with a fast knock-down effect and protection Carr & Day & Martin put at up to six weeks in good conditions.

The distinction matters. Repellents like Flygard go on the horse and ask insects to leave; this kills them where they breed and rest — walls, beams, doorways and the still air of a barn. Carr & Day & Martin are explicit that it is not applied to the horse, and for that reason say it is not relevant to FEI or BHA rules and withdrawal times. It is ready to use and needs no dilution.

Performance & Benefits

• Triple-action insecticidal surface and space spray for stables and barns.
• Cypermethrin active with a fast knock-down effect on flying and crawling insects.
• Weeks of residual protection — up to six weeks in optimal conditions.
• Water-based and ready to use, with no dilution to measure out.
• Treats the environment rather than the horse, which is where fly populations actually come from.
• One litre covers a useful area at the stated application rates.

Suitable For

• Stables, barns, American barns, feed passages and muck areas.
• Yards with a persistent fly problem that repellents alone are not solving.
• Surfaces where flies rest — walls, beams, doorways, window frames.
• Competition yards: Carr & Day & Martin state it is not applied to the horse and so is not relevant to FEI or BHA rules and withdrawal times.
• Never to be used on the horse. For on-horse protection use Flygard, Citromax or Flygard Extra Strength instead.

How to Use

• Shake well before each use.
• As a space treatment, apply 1ml of product per cubic metre as a fine mist.
• As a surface spray, apply 20ml per square metre, slightly wetting the surfaces to be protected.
• Remove all animals before treating, and allow surfaces to dry fully before they return.
• Repeat the treatment as and when required.

Specification

• 1 litre ready-to-use container. No dilution required.
• Active: cypermethrin. Carr & Day & Martin publish no percentage concentration, so none is stated here.

• Residual protection of up to six weeks in optimal conditions.
• Carr & Day & Martin list Flygard Protector in 1 litre only.

Care & Caution

• This is an insecticidal biocidal product, not a repellent for the horse. Never apply it to an animal.
• Remove all animals before treating and let every surface dry completely before they go back in.
• Not to be used on animal bedding, sleeping quarters, or anywhere animals frequently lie.
• Do not spray near water, feed or bedding. Cypermethrin is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life.
• Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
