(Omaha, Nebraska, June 26, 2008)—Meridian Animal Health, a new Omaha-based companion animal health company, introduces Ectomethrin H2O™, a horse spray that protects against horse, house, stable, face, horn and deer flies, gnats and mosquitoes. Available exclusively through veterinarians, Ectomethrin H2O contains the chemical cypermethrin and features a unique water-based formula.
“Not only does Ectomethrin H2O kill and repel flies at a level superior to the competition, but its water-based spray dries quickly, does not collect dust and leaves no oily residue on the horse’s hair,” says Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Meridian Animal Health. ”Its patented technology delivers excellent fly repellency, even on sweaty horses over an extended period of time.“
While most insecticides today are based on permethrin and/or pyrethrum, Ectomethrin H2O contains the breakthrough chemical cypermethrin and at six times the concentration of competitive cypermethrin sprays, resulting in longer lasting fly protection. Ectomethrin H2O repels biting flies and other pests for 14 days. Due to new patented technology, the spray’s molecular structure allows the active ingredient to bond to the hair follicles of the horse, making it waterproof and effective on even sweaty horses.
