Florida Horse Hay Sales and Delivery
I have tried I lot of old horses mens methods. I buy rugs for him but he ripe them in short times. I hate chemical, but try this one chemical stuff on him, it did not work and once I open the bottle of stuff both my horses could smell it, even if I had them in the yard would not let me near them. Anyone on the otherside of the world got any other answers?
Microtech works great!! The hair will literally start growing back over night. Its expensive but you will probably only need one bottle.

Shapley's M-T-G works great. Put on one day and leave on for twenty-four hours, then shampoo off with Corona shampoo.

Are you positive the itching is from flies and insects? It could possibly be sweet-itch, or hives. I'd try MTG first, like the person has said in the above answer. If it continues, i would consult your veterinarian.

your horse is probably full of junk that attracts the flies to him.
if you use alfalfa, slowly ease him off of that into orchard grass or timothy. alfalfa has too much sugar and protein for horses, which causes their body to try and get rid of it through their skin, which attracts flies. also, buy a less intense wormer. do you use strongid of equimax? don't. those are poisons, nothing more, nothing less. they damage your horse so badly. they're like using dynamite to remove a stone. there's not need. if you have to use a traditional wormer, try panacur. it's more gentle.
also, what might help, is if you get some cheap tea tree oil from walmart or target. pour about two or three bottles of it into a sprizter, and lightly mist your horse all over. then get a sponge and dalute some with water and dab it on his face. it's SUPER strong stuff that stings the eyes, so make sure it's very deluted. see if that helps. give him a nice, cool bath once a week and get an anti-bug shampoo. just keep him as clean, and as healthy as possible. flies are only attracted to unhealthy animals.
good luck!
