Description
Solitude IGR is a feed-through fly preventive
which, when mixed 1⁄2 oz into a horse’s ration daily
according to the directions, will prevent house and
stable fly development.
- Repeated studies show up to 100% efficacy in
inhibiting larvae development.
- Significant results may be observed within 2
weeks but the full benefit should be realized within
4-6 weeks of administration as the adult populations
die off.
- Solitude IGR is intended for use only in equidae
including horses, mules and donkeys.
Cyromazine, the active ingredient in Solitude IGR, is
an insect growth regulator that works on the fly’s
chitin exoskeleton and is very species specific to
house and stable flies.
- As the horse is fed cyromazine, it passes
through the horse and is excreted in the manure.
- House flies and stable flies lay their eggs in
the manure and the eggs subsequently hatch into the
larval or maggot stage. (Cyromazine has no effect on
the chitin of the adult fly.)
- As the maturing maggots feed on the manure
treated with cyromazine, they become unable to
successfully develop into adult flies because
cyromazine inhibits the proper formation of chitin.
- The immature stage of the fly dies.
Cyromazine has a well documented safety and efficacy
profile. It has been extensively evaluated in horses
since 2001 as well as intensely studied in other
species for more than 20 years.
- Numerous environmental studies have documented
cyromazine’s safety for mammals including humans and
horses, as well as birds, daphnia, minnows and other
indicator species.
- Once excreted, Solitude IGR breaks down to a
melamine monomer, a slow release nitrogen
fertilizer.

Conventional pesticides may still occasionally be
helpful to deal with other migratory adult flies
coming through your facility from neighboring areas.
Topical pesticides and misting systems will help
control these adult flies, however, the use of these
products may be significantly and safely reduced when
used in conjunction with Solitude IGR.
Approved Uses
For feed-through fly prevention and
control of house and stable flies in and around
horses, horse barns, stables, paddocks and race
tracks.
Key Features
- Solitude IGR (cyromazine) is a
non-organophosphate that has been safely used in
horses since 2001 and undergone extensive research
to prove its effectiveness and safety.
- Studies have proven it is 99.5% effective
against stable flies and 100% effective against
house flies with no effect on horses, other mammals
or beneficial insects.
- Greatly reduces the use of neurotoxic pesticide
sprays and overhead fly systems creating a healthier
environment for horses, staff and riders
- Cost effective and easy-to-use; just add 1⁄2 oz
into your horse’s daily feed regardless of your
horse’s breed or size.
- Creates healthier environment for horses as
threats from infectious disease vectors are
minimized.
- Reduces stress on horses caused by fly
infestation.

Administration
Read the entire “Directions for Use” before using
the product. Failure to follow directions and
precautions on the label may result in poor fly
control.
Start feeding Solitude IGR early in the spring
before flies begin to appear and continue feeding
throughout the summer and into the fall until cold
weather inhibits fly development. In some cases,
supplemental fly control measures may be needed in and
around paddocks and stables to control adult house
flies and stable flies, which can breed not only in
manure, but in other decaying vegetable matter or
silage on premises.
Solitude IGR will provide a high degree of fly
control and will give the best results when integrated
with a well-managed fly control program which includes
appropriate sanitary and management practices to
reduce the number and size of fly breeding sites.
Certain conditions around horse operations encourage
flies and should be brought under control as an aid to
fly control.
These include:
- Remove old and / or wet manure from in and
around your facility so that it cannot become a
breeding ground for flies.
- Clean up feed and hay spills, as well as water
drainage ditches.
- Reduce areas of moisture around your facility,
especially around manure holding areas.
- It is a violation of Federal law to use this
product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
A successful sanitary and management program may allow
less than constant use of insecticides. This, in turn,
should prolong the effective life of such agents.
Dosage
To maximize the effectiveness of Solitude IGR,
horses must be fed individually. This product is to be
fed top-dressed on grain or mixed with the horse’s
total ration to provide 300 mg (1 scoop) of cyromazine
per horse per day.
Daily dosage: Using 1⁄2 oz. scoop supplied with the
product, mix one (1) scoop of Solitude IGR in the
horse’s ration every day.
