Solitude IGR
We have been using this for about a month, I mix it with my horses feed and they don't even know it's there. It's just the beginning of fly season, but I have noticed less flies and my horses are much happier

I have 13 horses on a farm surrounded by cattle. Flies can get really bad. I’ve been using this product in combination with fly traps, and have noticed a real decrease in the numbers of flies on my horses. Happier-healthier-Love it!!

Love small dose size!
We used Fly Stoppers last year and our results with Solitude have been so much better and less hassle. Our Fly Stoppers always seem to arrive when it was really dry or just before a downpour.

Works well
Seems to work well - I have picky eaters and they don't have any issues with it added to their daily feed.

Works! Even late in the summer
I started using late this year, early June! Normally I start in April. I almost didn't purchase because I didn't think it would help this late in the season but after using two weeks I see a considerable decrease in flies on the stool.

Was hoping it would help.....
Not sure I’m seeing a difference in fly reduction. It’s our first summer having our own barn, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but seeing plenty of flies. : /

Solitude IGR
I have tried many systemic feed through products in the past and I must say that solitude IGR is without any doubt...hands down...a truly superior product. No flies...no fly predators..very minimal fly spray use. Wouldn't be without it. A bit pricey but worth every penny spent. I love this product. Kitty

Last year, we moved our horses to our first family farm, so we started them on Solitude since it was the first time I had control over my own "herd", of 4 horses. I was coming from a nearby boarding barn where the fly problem was just absolutely horrific. Even though our horses were started on this late (in June), we had very few flies! So it definitely works, no question. I noticed, looking at the manure pile, that flies were still breeding in the manure somewhat, so it didn't stop them 100%, but I hung a Big Bag fly trap by the manure pile and it seemed to catch most of them before they could make it back to the barn. No problems getting the horses to eat this. Will be buying again for this season.

good product
This is the second summer I have used solitude for fly control. My horses readily eat the pellets and it does decrease flies. I like that all horses receive the same dose - no worrying about how much the horse weighs or if you might have fed the wrong amount.

Consistently Works!
I have used this product for at least 8 years and didn't use it last year. I never have a fly problem and last year was terrible. Started in March this year and no fly problem again.

Dramatically reduced the fly population!
My horses have been on Solitude for 2 months now and I have seen a dramatic reduction in the amount of flies on my horses. I use this in conjunction with fly predators and the horses and barn are almost fly free. I was using a bottle of fly spray on the "crew" about every week and now I rarely use fly spray. Great product!!!!

Title could use a jazzier name
We bought it about a month ago, We figured that well, we tried everything else out with little or no results. But it only took about 10 days and what a difference weather they are in the barn or in the field. Fly masks help a little but add this stuff along with it and WOW!!!

No more Summer Sores!
I live in Florida where the flies play havoc on my horse. My poor Mac was suffering terribly from summer sores caused by poor fly control at a boarding facility he was at for six months. The flies larvae were basically eating him from the inside out. They had even eaten about a 1/4 inch of his urethra off. In the short time he was boarded there, I paid approx. $4,000 in six months - giving my vet the down payment for her new truck (LOL). Having had enough of seeing my poor boy suffer, I moved to a private location and began feeding Solitude IGR. I cannot believe the difference in both my horse's health and in the lack of flies around the barn and, especially, on the poop piles!!! We have NO flies now!!! This product is absolutely AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough good things! I will always use this product for all my horses!!

Glad I switched
For years we had always used Simplifly with decent success, but for whatever reason, the flies this summer were horrendous even though everyone was still getting their Simplifly. So I decided to switch to Solitude to try it out. It's been about 2 weeks now and already I've noticed a significant drop in flies. No more loud buzzing when you walk into a horse's stall! It's more expensive but you only have to feed 1/2 oz instead of 1 oz like with most products. All horses have no problems eating it either.

Flies be gone!
The owner of the farm at which I board my ponies told all the boarders they must have their horses fed IGR daily. Within a month, I saw a marked improvement in the amount of flies on the farm! They have gotten to the point that I rarely use fly spray! What a great product!

Been using about a month and I would say the flies are less than last year. If only it worked on GreenHeart, they are horrible right now

Not working this year!
I used this product last year. I started out using Simplifly until about July of last year then switched over to Solitude. I had great results. This year, I started out with Simplifly again due to Solitude being sold out. I had no flies while I fed Simplifly. When I started Solitude, I noticed an increase in flies. So, I increased the dosage. No effect. I am now over-run with flies and my horses are getting a double dose of Solitude. I just re-ordered Simplifly. I will not be using this product again.

It really does work!
I have been using solitude for about 6 weeks. I started a little late, in early April. We have been having a very warm and rainy spring which normally would bring a huge fly population to torment my horses. there are very few flies! I have a neighbor who is very close and I do not believe she uses this, but it still had a great impact.

So far so good.
Bought this a little over a month ago, although it hasn't been so hot yet. But they seem to be reducing our fly population. But a bit more pricey than its competitors.

So Far Seems Good
I will have to visit this review once we are in the height of summer. However as of right now, my six horses have been on this a month. It seems to be working. We are seeing flies but not many adult flies. The IGR works to prevent flies from forming an exoskeleton thus preventing them from surviving into adulthood. We see lots of baby flies but that is it. I was worried at first but when I went to the website this is the way it works. I do not know the true affect it is having for us since we do not have a lot of flies anywhere in the valley yet. Once we are in full swing fly season I will update my review. Horses ate it up just fine too.

It works as part of a program
I have a single horse kept at home. I have been working on perfecting my fly management program. There are several other horse homes in the neighborhood and I could not tell you if they implement any sort of fly control program. This product helped immensely. Last year used a combination of the the physical hanging traps and fly predators and still had a decent size fly population. The addition of Solitude IGR got rid of every single fly. I do notice a few flys toward the end of my predator cycle, but after a re-spread of those not a single fly can be found. The horse had no problem eating this product.

Very Palatable
I had been using the Smart Pak version, and my horse grudgingly ate it last year, but would not touch it this year. I had luck with it, so I decided to try something else. The molasses makes a huge difference. The flies have all but disappeared around him and on him. Very good product that my horse will eat!

Sadly not seeing results.
I was desperate in trying to find something that reduces the fly population. Not seeing a decrease in the fly population. At least my horse is eating it.
