Re: [RC] [RC] Safety issues with spot-on type bug control? - Sharon LevasseurGreat warning! I think they say to put it on the back of the front legs, but it's good to know how careful we should be. Thanks, Sharon L. Quoting Dawn Carrie <rdcarrie@xxxxxxxxx>: I seem to recall that they tell you to put it somewhere on the horse's front legs...DON'T put it where they can rub their eyes on the place you put it. They will get badly swollen eyes from it. Watch how they rub their faces on their front legs to scratch, and then place it carefully where they can't get it on their eyes. Other than that, I haven't heard of any problems...but then I've only used it once.

So I never seriously considered using them. But now that my horse is living in a paddock that will be INFESTED with black flies and mosquitoes in a few weeks, I'm reconsidering! They're still on the market, so there can't be any major issues... right??? Is there a brand that seems to work best?
