Abstract A band or strap for encircling the neck of a horse or pony carrying an elongated pocket having the upper surface perforated. Contained within the pocket is a mixture constituting a low volatility insecticide material on a granular carrier having an attractive characteristic for flies. A disagreeable taste material is also deposited on the granular material which is merely unpleasant to the taste of horses or humans who might come in contact with the collar and also controls the vaporization of this active ingredient. Also is disclosed a process for producing the insecticide combination and a novel insecticide combination.
