The backrub is a tool to apply a fly management solution to livestock. The backrubs need to be pre-soaked with a fly management solution of your choice before use. They are not effective on their own.
AC Backrubs recommends ONLY using our specifically formulated Backrub oils.
The backrub allows the fly control solution to be applied to the cattle as they rub themselves against the backrub. It maximizes effectiveness. It is critical to set your backrub up correctly.
The backrub will then allow cattle to treat themselves as they require. This is particularly important as some cattle appear to be more prone to fly infestations than others. By the cattle treating themselves on an “as needs basis” this will ensure fly populations are kept under control.
