F10® Germicidal Wound Spray with Insecticide

F10® Germicidal Wound Spray with Insecticide combines F10® Antiseptic Solution with the added insecticidal activity of Cypermethrin (0.25%) and Piperonyl Butoxide (1.25%). This produces a ready-to-use topical spray which is active against bacteria and fungi for wound treatment, with the added capabilities of repelling flies and preventing or eliminating infestations due to fly-strike (myiasis). There is a 100% residual action after 5 days.

Where the risk of fly-strike is high, following diarrhoea or urinary incontinence for example, use the F10® Germicidal Wound Spray with Insecticide as a preventative control measure.

See the information below and our fly-strike page for more information on using F10® for prevention of fly-strike.

It is licensed under the Exemption for Small Pet Animals (see below).

Available in 100ml and 500ml spray bottles. 
The 500ml bottles should only be used on animals larger than 5kg body weight.
