Equestrian farms & Racecourse Industry
Equestrian farms, racecourses, and riding schools demonstrate the economic value of the wider equestrian sector to the economy and, therefore, these properties require careful consideration and approach. To ensure the good health of the horses, it is important to have a strong pest control program in place. The active season of a few pests, such as flies and mosquitoes, can be a miserable time for horses and humans. In addition, to being nuisances, flying insects can be vectors for serious diseases, such as the West Nile virus and Equine Infectious Anemia. Rodents can transmit diseases such as salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and trichinosis. They can also carry and pass along from their fur and feet other disease-harboring organisms (such as mites, ticks, lice, and fleas). Reducing pest populations should be at the top of every horse keeper’s list.
