I have a new horse that is infested with ticks.. I want to treat the area it is in to kill them as i have not had a tick problem on my property. Is it safe to use where it eats?
No, the Sevin Insecticide Granules is not safe to use around horses or their feed. However, we do have EcoTreat which is labeled to kill ticks and is completely safe and does not have any re-entry restrictions. It is best to spray EcoTreat twice in a 7 day period and then it will last 4-6 weeks. Casual rainfall or irrigation will not wash it away. It can even be used as a tick dip on animals.
