Seems to be doing better than I thought it would, my mare wears a sweet itch rug but her forelock was getting sweet itch, since using the product it’s getting much better

Was hopeful it would stop her rubbing but no luck with that

Used twice now, once a week as instructed. Early to say, but no skin reaction and less rubbing. I hesitated with the cost, but believe it is worth using for the season to properly assess how good it is.

Please advise on how this is applied, is it a spray, wiped on or washed in?
Thanks
APPLICATION GUIDE
Apply the measured dose in approximately equal proportions to the mane and rump avoiding the saddle area.
Treatment should be started at the beginning of the sweet itch season and repeated as necessary. Treatment once weekly should be sufficient for most horses.
If horses and donkeys are to be groomed, apply the product after grooming.
Do not treat the saddle area.
The product must not be applied forward of the ears.
Take care to avoid eye contact. In case of accidental splashing into the horse's eye, the affected eye should be washed thoroughly and immediately with copious quantities of clean water and veterinary attention sought.

Z Itch product: In addition to midges, does this control ticks/lice?
The active ingredient in Z-itch is Permethrin which has been shown to be effective against ticks and lice. However Z-itch is not licensed for this use and it has not been proven/disproven to protect against lice/ticks, it is only proven effective against midges.
