Question:	I have four miniature horses. how much should i apply? they weigh about 250 lbs each. thanks
Answer:	It's a daily supplement. I split the daily dose (1/3 cup) and feed it with my horse's breakfast and dinner so he doesn't get such a big amount all at once. And just be aware it needs to be kept in the fridge after opening.
Question:	whats the difference between the blue pack and the green pack

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it last after spraying around the doors
Answer:	I think so, but you will see the amount of flies reach above the label if you have a large amount in container .
Question:	Does this product also kill honeybees? It's for use on on dogs; indicates it kills fleas, ticks, and flies; also kills a zillion other critters
Answer:	Yes you can dump the flies and reuse the container, but you would have to use new bait. You can get new bait on Amazon.
Question:	Is this oil based
Answer:	No, but if your problem with fruit flies is an indoor problem there is an easy, inexpensive solution. Just put some apple cider vinegar in a glass with some water (about a 50/50 mix) with a few drops of dish detergent. Set it next to where the fruit flies gather. You'll be surprised how many it will attract. It won't get all of them, but it'll get the majority of them. Just check the bottom of the glass occasionally and you'll see the little buggers laying there.
Question:	Does this repel fleas
Answer:	I have 4 dogs so we a lot of flys and it works well. Yes, I believe they will attract the green head flys , wherever there are fly’s , it will attract.

Question:	Can I use on outside cat
Answer:	It doesn't have a "strong" scent, but it does have a scent. It doesn't leave the fur oily. It does leave it silky smooth, once it dries. It doesn't take much. I spray it on my hands, rub them together, and then rub my hands on the cat. I use this product before cat shows, and find that it really works well.

User questions & answers

Question:	After you have sprayed your dog and the product has dried, what happens if they lick their fur where the product was sprayed
Answer:	When addressing the lack of muscle issue, we would suggest our MuscleMX pellets which are formulated to fuel lean muscle development. To address the anxious behavior we would recommend supplementing with our Calming formula. There are no issues combining the two formulas.
Question:	Does this repel Crane Flies? If not, what will
Answer:	This product will definitely help with situational anxiety from fireworks, large crowds, competitions, etc. We would recommend administering this product for a few days prior to the start of the firework event, to ensure that your horse's body has adequate time to start processing the thiamine, magnesium and tryptophan contained in this product. Depending on his/her level of anxiety, you may also want to supplement these Formula 707 Calming Pellets with the Formula 707 Calming Paste. This fast-acting paste can be administered 2-hours prior to the event, and will work in conjunction with the Calming Pellets to provide immediate relief in instances of heightened anxiety.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to mix with water
Answer:	I'm not sure. Your best bet would be to contact Farnam directly as ask their customer service people.
Question:	Do you think the “standard size” would fit my 3 year old blm jenny burrow
Answer:	Per the image 6 applications
Question:	Would the standard size fit a mammoth donkey, or would I need the XL
Answer:	Unfortunately, I was very unsatified with this product. It did not work for us on our 2 horses anything like I had expected, based on the recommendation of a horse friend. One of my horses swells up terribly (allergy) to fly bites. The ticks last year were very bad as were the mosquitos. I used this as described and laid out on the packaging. Reapplied about every 2-3 weeks. It still didn't come close to the protection it proclaimed. Another problem were the plastic viles it comes in. They leak and thus you are always loosing the chemicals onto whatever absorbs the oils that they touch. Doesn't do much good on paper or wood shelving or a tack box. So sorry for the poor review, but this is how my husband and I view this product. I would welcome information on anything which provides greater protection. Thank you, Violet
Question:	can horse ride in this mask
Answer:	I'm not a veterinarian but I would apply one vial at the designated points for all four horses. Observe them carefully and if the flies are still biting or they are coming in with ticks (my major concern) then use two vials split between the horses. The average horse weighs between 1000 and 1200 pounds. I will say that this product has protected my horse who is turned out onto hundreds of acres of pasture (poor little guy!). He never comes in with any ticks on him and the flies don't like him either. It eliminates spraying. I will say that this product is systemic and when I apply it he has a strange reaction. He must be able to taste it. The alternative is not something I want to deal with. We had a horse in the barn with Lyme last year and almost lost him.
