ADMINISTRATION

1. Calm Approach: Approach the animal gently, keeping the bottle down initially to avoid startling them.
2. Body Application: Spray liberally over the body, legs, and belly, maintaining about a 2-foot distance.
3. Face & Ears: Instead of spraying directly, spray onto a cloth or sponge and gently wipe under the eyes and inside the ears (if using a cream, massage it in).
4. Work It In: Use a brush or your hands to work the spray into the coat for better coverage and efficacy.
5. Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not spray directly into the eyes, nostrils, mouth, or genitals.
6. Spot Treat: Focus on areas where flies congregate, like the withers, shoulders, and back.
7. Repeat: Reapply as needed, often daily or every few days, depending on weather and fly pressure.
