It is specifically effective in ridding struck animals of maggots and soothing the irritation caused by the infestation.

What are the benefits for the sheep's skin?

The product contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, combined with special plant oils that help to moisturise the skin and keep it in good condition.

How should the product be stored?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals.

What is the volume of the bottle?

This product comes in a 5-litre bottle.

Can it be used on other livestock?

Barrier Blowfly Repel is specifically designed for sheep. Consult product documentation or a veterinarian for use on other animals.

Troubleshooting

Product appears to be less effective than expected.

Ensure correct application technique and coverage. Reapply as directed and consider environmental factors that might affect pest activity. Always use as a supplementary treatment alongside appropriate primary sheep care.

Skin irritation persists after application.

While designed to soothe, consult a veterinarian if irritation worsens or does not improve, as this could indicate a more serious underlying condition.

Difficulty in applying to all affected areas.

Use an appropriate applicator (e.g., spray bottle or brush) to ensure precise and even coverage on difficult-to-reach spots. For severe cases, seek assistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Broad spectrum of pest control.
  • Provides relief for struck animals.
  • Promotes skin health and prevents dryness.
  • Offers protection against secondary infections.
  • Convenient for targeted application.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Barrier Blowfly Repel is ready for direct application. Ensure the affected area on the sheep is clean and dry before application, if possible. Apply the product directly to the site of infestation or areas at risk of pest attack. For use as a supplementary treatment, apply after using Barrier D Sheep Dip. Store the 5-litre bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals. Clean any application equipment thoroughly after use.
