Beelzebug is a light oil which is rubbed in and helps to stop itching and rubbing. Beelzebug is extremely effective against flies, midges, mites, bugs, lice, ticks and all biting insects. It has been used with equally good effect on donkeys, llamas, dogs, cats, sheep and a number of smaller animals. Beelzebug works by discouraging the feeding mechanism of biting/blood-sucking insects so that they can no longer feed or bite once they have landed on it.

It is made from the oil pressed from the fruit of a species of tropical tree, which for millions of years has produced complex substances to protect itself from insect attack and infestation. Entirely safe to use and biodegradable, Beelzebug has no side effects other than a dramatic reduction in the fly population around the horse.

Beelzebug is easy to use since, in average conditions, only a once a week application is needed to help discourage and repel biting bugs and flies.

Instructions
To help prevent itching and flies from landing, we recommend that you give your horse/pony a thorough 'once over' on the first application. To do this you rub some Beelzebug onto the tips of ears (inside and out), into the mane (working it into the roots, then proceed along the back and round the tail area, making sure that the Beelzebug is getting well into the skin on both sides of the spine and mane. Next, apply to the chest and belly, finally rubbing a bit into each fetlock. The face can be done using a small sponge or cloth. Dab on carefully, avoiding the area near the eyes.

Thereafter, top up weekly (in average conditions) or twice weekly in extreme conditions.

If your horse or pony has already started rubbing and has removed areas of mane, tail and/or rubbed areas of skin until sore and broken, then apply Beelzebug as described above in the thorough 'once over'. Then, for the following three days top up, sparingly, the areas where he has been rubbing. After this initial 3 day application, reduce to applying once or twice a week to suit local conditions. Beelzebug is naturally soothing and is safe to use on broken skin.

We recommend that you give your horse a clean with Unlox cleanser (or a good proprietary baby shampoo or other mild type shampoo) from time to time to prevent a build-up of Beelzebug on the coat.
