Their web site is at: http://www.equinediscount.com and their phone is 1-800-482-8060. If you order two bottles plus something else to get the order over $50, you pay no shipping or handling. I tried it today for the first time. I used it at the 1:4 dilution, applied it with a sprayer, then back rubbed it into the hair. For flies, it seems to work wonderfully. No flies as soon as I applied it, and very few flies 90 minutes later after a long drive and some ring work. That's real good fly spray in my book. When we were driving thru the woods, there were quite a few mosquitoes landed on Pferd. Although it appeared they weren't biting him, the spray didn't seem to keep them off. There was no problem with deer flies, but it may still be a little early for them. So far it seems to work better than the Absorbine Ultrashield we've been using for several years, and since Ultrashield has gone up to $46 a gallon, I think the CLAC-86 will save quite a bit of money. I certainly agree with the spice cake observation. And it seems to linger on the hands for quite some time. But it's not a bad smell, just very pervasive. -- Steve McIlree & Cynthia Madden -- Pferd, Keyah, Skipper, Tank -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances. --D.H.
