🐴 Sponsor Shoutout: Fly Season Mythbusters with EcoVet
View this post on Instagram
Fly season is heating up, and we’re back with another myth from our friends at EcoVet—because better knowledge means fewer bites.
Myth: “Natural Means Less Effective”
Let’s bust this one wide open. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it can’t work just as hard—or harder—than the chemical stuff.
EcoVet is proof: their scientifically tested, naturally derived formula has been shown to outperform traditional fly sprays in both effectiveness and longevity. No pyrethrins, no essential oils—just a smart, targeted way to keep bugs off your horse and out of your barn.
🌿 Natural? Yes. Weak? Not even close.
Stay tuned for more myths (and solutions) coming your way here in Monday News & Notes! In the meantime, you can learn more about EcoVet here.
