Blue Creek Bug Dope
Blue Creek Bug Dope
Rub a small amount of paste into the chest, cinch, groin, and ear area and it works for days! Outfitters also use it on scalds, rubs, and small wounds. It has a distinct outdoor pine odor. It repels all flies including horse flies, sand flies, gnats, no-see-ums and mosquitoes. Flies and bugs can drive a horse to extreme restlessness and create a dangerous, nervous, high energy animal.
There are times when the horses are turned out to feed, and they appear determined to head out. Watch them closely. If their tails are swishing and noses snorting it could be that flies have got them on the move. Black flies, sand flies, deerflies and “no-see-ums” can turn the horse’s chest and groin into a bloody mess. Mosquitoes and horseflies also transmit disease, including West Nile Virus and Swamp Fever.
Blue creek bug dope is a true and tested recipe that works better and lasts longer than on-the-shelf products – guaranteed!
Ingredients: Rendered animal fat, petroleum jelly, Pine Tar, Creolin, Citrus Extract

We have had a fairly wet summer here in SW Ontario and because of that the bugs have been relentless. Noseeums, blackflies, mosquitos and deer flies bad enough to chase my horses out of the pasture. Blue Creek bug dope gave them the respite they needed once again.
I found a container of Bug Dope in a box of tack and medical supplies that I got at a yard sale! Lucky for me and my horses the label was in the bottom of the box! This is the third year I have placed an order. Everyone in our family uses it on the horses, it keeps the insects away for days with one application, I have a friend that shows and she does everything to keep her mare from getting bites! She uses it and can’t believe how well it works and can be used anywhere on the body of a horse. We trade our farrier a container at least once a year! Most of us live close to the river so it is bug central! I can’t say enough good things about the Bug dope and how it has worked to keep my horses happy and bug free!
I have purchased your bug dope before and I love it just as much as I have in the past, keeps the bugs off my mare and out of her ears
