Protect Your Horse from Mosquitoes
Horses have a hard time when it comes to keeping pests away. Mosquitoes can stress a horse by "attacking" the area around the nose and eyes).
The best way to protect your horse from mosquitoes is to set up one of our Mosquito Slayer traps near to where the horses are sheltered (we recommend a distance of approximately 5 to 10 metres external to the Stable area).
The carbon dioxide and other lures in the trap will attract the female mosquitoes and you will find if you operate your mosquito trap/s 24/7, that within a few weeks, the mosquito problem has been significantly reduced, and helps to reduce the stress your horse suffers from the mosquito menace.
Our traps are used in areas where equine viruses occur. For example, The Singapore Polo Club has set up a "shield" of mosquito Slayer traps around their stable area to help protect their members horses from the effect of disease carrying mosquitoes.
The Mosquito Management System which includes the Mosquito Slayer PRO, also plays an important role in agriculture - protecting both agricultural workers and other livestock. As well as alleviating the threat of insect-borne disease, the Mosquito Management System can improve the quality of livestock by reducing the stress on the animals caused by biting insects, and make the working environment more comfortable for staff.
