Abstract
Abstract A method is provided whereby bot fly eggs are removed from the coat and skin of horses, preventing parasitic internal infestation with bot larvae and the undesirable and debilitating effects thereof. The animal is treated by applying a mixture of mineral spirits and 1,1,1-trichloroethane to the skin and coat of the animal and thereafter rubbing with a mildly abrasive material. The treatment is exceptionally effective for the removal of the eggs which are not readily susceptible to other techniques. Removal of the eggs eliminates the principal source of bot larvae infestation of horses.
