Moxidectin is very effective against bots - late fall or early winter.

Thanks Mood Swings but I the horses in question are yearlings and I don't give Quest to young horses or in-foal mares..

might have to give another round of Ivermectin or EquiMax

And get a pack of disposable razors and shave off ALL the eggs.

no it does not.. I've tried it and all you do is piss off the mare. Tried bot combes also and while the mares are OK with the combe so ate the bot eggs.

If you ate the bot eggs you may need to be dewormed yourself!
