I think it is licensed for use in horses in Aus.</p> <p>Intervet market it here as Butox Swish for cattle and sheep.&nbsp; Worth giving them a call.</p> <p>Suppose you could apply Frontline spray locally - but a bit expensive to apply to an entire horse....?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
