Endure ® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control represents a significant advancement in the category as the first EPA-approved fly spray for horses to feature acetamiprid and etofenprox, two new killer active ingredients, never before used in equine fly control. The formula delivers a new, field-tested mode of action designed to help manage resistant insect pests while providing fast knockdown and extended protection.

“We’re incredibly excited to launch Endure Gold, a groundbreaking new fly spray that brings an advanced, next-level formula to the market,” said Kevin Tompkins, Vice President & General Manager, Equine at Central Garden & Pet. “With six active ingredients—including two that have never been used in horse products—Endure Gold delivers a superior experience horse owners are going to love. It’s a powerful example of Farnam’s ongoing commitment to innovation and our promise to make everything for the ride better for horse owners.”

Designed for a New Era of Fly Control

Backed by science and developed at Farnam’s leading Research and Development facility, Endure ® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control supports a smarter, more strategic approach to equine fly control that prioritizes effectiveness over time, not just short-term relief.

“Applying the same fly spray over and over can lead to insecticide resistance in pest populations,” said Chris Holderman, Ph.D., Senior Manager, Product Development at Central Life Sciences. “Endure Gold was developed to be a rotational product, one that’s included in an Integrated Pest Management plan. Rotating modes of action for pest control slows down development of insecticide resistance.”

By introducing acetamiprid—a modern ingredient with a new mode of action—and etofenprox, an ingredient exclusive to Farnam for use on horses, Endure ® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control helps horse owners reduce reliance on the same chemistry season after season while fitting easily into rotational fly control programs. Approved for use on horses, ponies, foals, miniature horses, donkeys and mules, it offers a flexible, long-lasting solution for all equines.

Innovation Rooted in Experience

Endure ® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control will arrive on retail shelves and across eCommerce channels nationwide as peak fly season begins.

As Farnam prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary, the introduction of Endure ® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control underscores the brand’s commitment to progress, combining decades of equine expertise with modern science to deliver innovative solutions that help keep horses comfortable, protected, and performing at their best.

LONDON (AP) — With oil prices soaring and stocks tanking, the fast-evolving Iran war has cast a pall over the economic forecasts that British Treasury chief Rachel Reeves is set to unveil on Tuesday.

Reeves had hoped her statement to the House of Commons would be a relatively low-key affair, with the forecasts showing the key economic numbers broadly heading in the right direction. No tax and spending decisions are anticipated.

However, economists are warning that the Iran war could upend the forecasts within her Spring Statement, depressing growth, stoking inflation and increasing debt.

Perhaps most significantly, the price of Brent international oil standard has spiked by more than 15% this week to over $80 a barrel, while global gas prices, which the U.K. is particularly reliant on, have nearly doubled. If sustained, both would certainly lead to higher energy bills for businesses and households, fuelling inflation and keeping a lid on growth.

“With the world plunged into fresh uncertainty, she is likely to strike a highly cautious tone, focusing on maintaining stability and sticking to fiscal rules amid heightened tensions,” said Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist at Wealth Club, an investment service.

Ahead of her statement, the Treasury said Reeves will stress the importance of economic stability in an increasingly uncertain world.

Reflecting on the decisions the government has taken, Reeves is expected to point to already falling inflation and interest rate cuts, which are easing the cost of living pressures on family finances.

“This government has the right economic plan for our country, in a world that has become yet more uncertain," she is expected to tell lawmakers.

Britain’s Labour government, which has lost significant support since it won the general election in 2024 , has been hoping that 2026 would be the year that it was clear the British economy was on a sounder footing than it has been for years.

Some recent economic indicators have pointed to a pickup in growth in the early part of 2026. Inflation is also set to fall sharply in the coming months, prompting the Bank of England to cut interest rates further. Last month, the bank kept its main rate unchanged at 3.75%.
