Works Good
This fly spray works well. It does have to be applied twice a day like most sprays. This is the most effective natural fly spray Iâve been able to find. It doesnât irritate my horses skin and repels bugs.

Good for Horses with Sensitive Skin
My horse always developed bumps on her skin during the summer (I always had used a regular fly spray). I didnât know what it was until I tried someone elseâs all natural fly spray for a week and the bumps disappeared. It smells good, too.

Good alternative
I don’t use it exactly as per instructed. Per quart, I use 1/2 c of product, 1 cup Aloe juice, 1/2 t citronella and 1 t neem oil. Fill the rest with water. Stretches it out but works good

work better than other non-toxic sprays I’ve tried
5 stars because it does what I expected it to do. It does not work as well as those chemical sprays full of that carcinogenic (but highly effective) ingredient, but I knew that it wouldn’t. It does, however, work better than other non-toxic sprays I’ve tried. I think a few bugs on my horse is the lesser evil compared to spraying a little bit of cancer all over the barn. It has a great smell too, and my horse seems to like it. He would try to move away from other sprays, but once he got a whiff of this one he stood much better. Sometimes, with these sprays, it can seem like it’s not doing much, but it always makes a difference in keeping my horse’s chest from getting chewed up. I board him, and if I miss a few days I can tell.

Great fly spray – just brush it in!
This fly spray works quite well – but the key is to brush it in. Depending on the horse and their tolerance of sprays, I either spray it on the brush (that goes for all faces) or I spray it on their bodies and brush it in. I try to cover all of them, and especially brush all the way down to their hooves on all sides of their legs. As a bonus, it has a great scent! And I only put fly spray on once a day – if it looks like rain, I donât bother until after it has passed. My horses are pastured 24/7. I gave it 4 stars because you have to work a little harder to make it work, but once applied, itâs as good as any fly spray out there – and itâs all natural. Good for our horses and us!

Best natural flyspray for the money
Iâve had really good luck with this concentrated flyspray. I used to constantly have to change flysprays because they would stop working. This one works all spring/summer long and it doesnât leave an oily residue like some of the other brands.

Pass on this one
Not effective at all and I did not care for the scent. The flies landed all over right after I used it. I have tried another natural brand that smells better and is more effective.

The Smell
I wish the smell did not cause my horse to sneeze so much!!ðHard to feel comfortable with using it when she constantly sneezes, when it is sprayed.
