beaphar fly guard

has anyone tried it, I am just wondering if it is as good as rear guard? It has Ivermectin in so I am guessing it would be :?
 
I have a bottle at home but it's been an awfully long time since I used it :oops: I remember it being much easier to use, as it's a spray rather than a foamy-up applicator pad (which can be a battle and a half to use!) but I must have preferred Rearguard to continue using that one more.
 
Hi. I've recently used it on most of our rabbits (one has had a lice problem so couldn't have it as is being treated). We've used it for 2 years and it seems to keep the flies away. I definitely think it works and we usually do every 3 months but near summer i do think about doing every 2 however when it rained a lot lost year the flies seemed to disappear so as there were not so many i left it a few more weeks before using again. The thing with it is you must not let any companion rabbits groom the other rabbit etc until it has dried.
