Anwendung
Anwendung
Before turnout, spray evenly onto the affected areas of the body. Treat the legs and fetlocks particularly thoroughly, as mites preferentially occur there. If necessary, spray the entire horse to support the skin environment over a larger area. In the head area, spray mite repellent onto a cotton pad and dab gently – this keeps the sensitive area protected. See information on the label.
Shake the product well before use, as a natural separation layer may form. Spray the product evenly onto the coat from a distance of about 25 cm or apply with a sponge. Ideally, work from the neck to the croup. Each spray delivers approx. 0.8 ml of solution. Avoid sensitive areas such as the eyes, ears, nostrils, genitals, and the anal region. Depending on requirements, the application can also be carried out several times a day. In case of rain or heavy sweating, the application should be repeated.
WARNING: USE BIOCIDE PRODUCTS CAREFULLY. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND PRODUCT INFORMATION BEFORE USE.
Read all instructions carefully and follow them. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Store the product in its original container and tightly closed when not in use and dispose of it in accordance with local, national or international regulations. Further INFO can be found.

Milbenruhe: Mite spray for horses. 2-in-1: Defense support and care in one product.
Why this topic is relevant
Mites are among the most common skin irritants for horses. Harvest mites are particularly active in late summer and autumn. In thick hair and sensitive areas like the pastern, these tiny parasites have an easy time. Biting lice, fleas, and lice can also stress the skin. The result: restlessness, increased rubbing, and stressed skin.
The Milbenruhe approach
Milbenruhe relies on a 2-in-1 concept:
- Defense support through carefully selected essential oils that keep mites away.
- Care for the skin, which is particularly strained during mite season.
This allows you to combine both in a single step.
Formulation
- Formula with selected essential oils
- Free from parabens, silicones, mineral oils, PEGs, alcohol, and DEET
- Developed and handcrafted in Hamburg
Daily application
- Spray evenly onto the desired body areas before turnout.
- Thoroughly coat the pasterns and legs, as this is where mites prefer to settle.
- Spray the entire horse if necessary.
- Head area: spray onto a cotton pad and gently dab on; do not spray directly into the face.
- For care around the eyes, use the Hestakofi eye cream.
Area of application
- Suitable for all horse breeds
- For mite season, especially during the time of harvest mites
Milbenruhe combines defense support and care in one step. Developed for practical use to accompany your horse through mite season.

HESTAKOFI DUST MITE QUIET
MITE DORMANT



FALL GRASS MITE: THE PROBLEM STARTS ON THE PASTURE:
The fall grass mite is actually harmless in the stable, but a nuisance on the pasture. Only its larvae search for a host. They climb up grass blades, attach themselves to the mouth and legs while grazing, and feed there for a few days on tissue fluid, not blood. Then they fall off again. The tricky thing: The skin reaction and itching can last significantly longer than the mite itself. Often, it is always the same pasture areas, dry slopes, or forest edges where the mites appear year after year. This is where proper care comes in: A repellent before going out to pasture keeps the larvae away before they attach, and good skin care follows afterwards.
