| 953.1 | No Bug Lights | MED::D_SMITH | | Wed May 24 1989 11:57 | 5 |

Your bug light will most likely attract your neighbors mosquitos
too. They should be happy about that. It won't help you much
though!

| 953.2 | Avon Skin-So-Soft | ASABET::HUDSON | | Thu May 25 1989 08:00 | 9 |
| Not sure if this can be used when nursing, but how about trying
the Avon Skin-So-Soft? It comes in a spritzer so it can be sprayed.
I heard of a few people use it on their horses and I know it works
on people. Has a nice smell instead of the other bug repelents.
P.S. My riding instructor uses it when she gets her horses ready
for show, it gets rid of the pitch from the pine trees.

| 953.3 | Repel-X | DELNI::KEIRAN | | Thu May 25 1989 09:04 | 4 |
| I talked to my vet last night and he suggested Repel-X because
its a water based spray and you can mix it either mild or strong.
Thanks!

| 953.4 | "SSS/Apple Cider Vinegar/H2O" | MED::D_SMITH | | Thu May 25 1989 09:33 | 11 |
|
The SSS should be diluted with vinegar and water. The stronger
you want it, the less water you add.
Apple cider Vinegar alone is a good bug repellant and I found to be
recommended by many. I feed A.C.V. to my horse. Half cup per feeding.
Keeps the bugs away, gives a beutiful shine and a higher level of
energy.

| 953.5 | SSS???? | WAV14::BETZL | | Thu May 25 1989 12:32 | 6 |
| Could you please tell me what the SSS is, I have never heard of
this and would like to try it.
Thanks,

The SSS is Avon's Skin-So-Soft (regular scent). It is around $8.00
for 8 onces. It can only be purchased by Ding Dong, Avon calling REP.
This is discussed in note 578.20, although I have been using
Apple Cidar Vinegar instead of white vinegar. Add more or less
water depending on the desired strength.

| 953.7 | SSS | WAV12::BETZL | | Thu May 25 1989 14:59 | 9 |
| Thanks,
I do have SSS, I have been using it for two years, it works ok!!!
I am going to try using the ACV in the feed, do you just pour it
over the grain at each feeding???
Thanks again for the info.

| 953.8 | SSS andACV | MRMFG1::E_BARKER | | Fri Jun 02 1989 14:34 | 9 |
| I ve been using SSS for some time now and found it works good for
half and hour or so, but not much longed.. Tried ACV in the grain
but found the horse would not eat the grain at bottom of bucket
that was soaked in ACV.

| 953.9 | Slowly, step by step, " by " | MED::D_SMITH | | Fri Jun 02 1989 15:14 | 18 |
|
The ACV should be added in very small quantities to start. Most
horses will reject the taste at first but will become attached
to it in time. Ours did! Mine did not like the taste of
source at first. He would take a mouth full and start spitting
it out. He finally found it to be tasty. Like any change in diet, slow...
I started mine out with just a few drops. See how he/she reacts.
Each day add a bit more and soon over a week or two you should be
able to feed the full dose of a half cup or so per feeding. Some
horses need more, some less. You will see many things from this.
1) Very shiny coats (always a plus).
2) Increased level of energy (without the added weight).
3) Very few bugs (thay will find a better tasting meal elsewhere).
4) Good dust control if don't feed sweet feed (good for heves).
Again, the key is start slowly, and build up to what he or she needs.

| 953.10 | Eating Chemicals? | DELNI::CSILVA | I finally got a PONY of my OWNY | Tue Jun 06 1989 10:04 | 6 |
| What does ACV stand for? Dosen't anyone worry about the possible
side effects of feed-thru chemicals? Just dosen't sound safe...
maybe it's the old biology/chemistry major in me...
Do you know what chemicals are used?

| 953.12 | Sorry about that chief... | DELNI::CSILVA | I finally got a PONY of my OWNY | Tue Jun 06 1989 16:29 | 8 |
| Ohhhhhh... so that's what ACV stands for.
Sorry, guess I've become "drain bamaged" from to many days at school.
I thought you may have been referring to those feed-through type
food supplements that are supposed to make the manure less attractive
--to flies, that is. They always worried me because they never
really list the ingrediants.

| 953.13 | Apple cider vinegar is used in Poland | WEDOIT::NANCY | | Mon Jun 12 1989 14:54 | 12 |
|
Apple cider vinegar (brown vinegar) has been fed to horses in Poland
for many years. My husbands' grandmother used to tell him about
the horses her family raised in Poland and how good this "brown
apple cider vinegar" was for keeping the digestive tract of the
horses in good shape. She would talk of how shiny her horses coats
were and she talked of it as a prevenative medicine against colic
especially when there is dust in their hay.
