RE: [RC] Safety issues with spot-on type bug control? - Important Info! - Jean
I asked my vet
that question and she said any of the sprays with a different chemical than the
one in the spot on stuff will be OK. So if Equi Spot is Permethrin you could
use anything with Pyrethrins or Deet etc.

FYI everyone… I called Equi-Spot
today and they were very clear about the instruction that this type of product
should NOT be applied more than every 14 days, even if it stops working.
I asked what product would be safe to use for those last few days and they
weren’t willing to answer… they said “call the company that
makes the other product you’re interested in and ask them if it will
react with the 45% permethrin”.
My plan if I get Equi-Spot (which is the
cheapest in my area), is to use it in combination with fly predators and Flicks
all-natural bug spray… 5 types of oils that repel bugs nicely if you
reapply every day. You do have to brush it into the hair like we
discussed last week, though, for it to really work. I haven’t
called Flicks yet but I will, even though I can’t imagine that natural
oils would be a problem.
