Description

Ecovet Fly Repellent provides a new, innovative solution for fly control. It contains no pyrethrins or essential oils but rather is a blend of natural fatty acids in a silicone oil base. The fatty acids act as a repellent by confusing insects' directional ability, making them unable to locate or land on your horse. The fly repellent will protect your horse from flies, gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, lice, and more, without causing harm to other organisms or the environment. It is a great option for horses with sensitive skin. This formula is made by a veterinary-owned company, and is tested and endorsed by experts.

Strong but it works!!

by -

I really like this fly spray and plan to keep using it. It's strong and unpleasant if inhaled, but clearly the flies, gnats, and other insects clearly feel the same because it works really well. It doesn't feel like you're using poison but it will make you and your horse sneeze if you're not careful. It's also not greasy and nasty like a lot of other popular brands. It's one of the most effective sprays I've tried!

Smells real bad

by -

The bad smell out weights the benefits.
My horse dislikes the smell, as do I.
I used it outside and another rider asked, what’s that smell.
The nanonic acid ingredient is probably the culprit.
Not sure I like these active ingredients. The name eco is misleading.
