FarnamEquisect Botanical Fly Repellent for Horses, Dogs and Cats, 32 Ounces, Quart Spray

This is my fourth order. Living in south Florida means I need to use a fly spray pretty much all year long! For some reason, my horse doesn't object to this one. I have a feeling that the original brand I used (which is no longer available for his region which might explain a lot ....) either bothered his skin or he didn't like the smell. This one he has no problem with. I don't believe any product is going to completely eradicate flies, but this certainly cuts down on how many tend to be bothering him on a regular basis. I spray it on his bedding as well right after his stall is cleaned. I know I'm not supposed to put this directly on his face so I spray some on his nylon halter and try to keep the halter on him all the time. It does seem to keep the flies off his face. (He refuses to keep on a fly mask - he is able to take off any fly mask in less than five minutes. I give up!).

I got this product because it didn't have a lot of chemicals in it that would be harmful to animals. I use it on my dogs, all of which have flies that like to gather in different places on their bodies. It works really well. They usually get swarms of flies on their ears and back, but with the spray on, they usually have none. Sometimes a couple flies will brave it, but so much better than before. Plus, it smells better than any chemical spray would. The bottle is also nice and the spray nozzle works well. I've had to respray every few hours, but worth it for how it keeps flies off.

Purchased this for my 2 dogs, summertime heat has flies bitting their ears up. Usually apply daily depending on the temp. Does work well at keeping the flies off. I liked the idea of natural ingredients over chemicals for my dogs any day.

The best “Natural’ fly spray that I have found. Smells good too. I’ve been using this for years. I need to go to a stronger brand, like Tri Tec 14 when the flies start to ignore this one.

Outstanding! Smells pleasant and there's enough in the bottle to last all year. Our dog was tormented by deer flies. No more.

smells ok, not terribly offensive better than what I expected. value is good compared to similar products. no clue if it works, can't really tell, so maybe, maybe not.my issue was the packaging. it arrived with some plastic air pockets in the box but on one side of the thing, solely there to fill a gap in the box. a box has 4 sides y'all, and there was nothing actually wrapped around the spray nozzle to protect it, so naturally the thing was banged up pretty bad since 3 other sides of the box didn't have any protection. pics of the nozzle head attached. of course the nozzle didn't work at all, and of course there was leakage too so some lost product (and I didn't get to reuse the wet smelly box.)I had a spare spray bottle to transfer the contents to, but it's not a cheap sprayer (the empty bottle cost about as much as this product itself) and it sprays so much out no matter how I tune the nozzle that just coating a small area resulted in a LOT of product being used up. going to have to find a cheaper spray bottle before I actually bother to use any more of this stuff. maybe THEN I can actually see how well it works...

My GSDs are out in the country and flies biting on their ears and noses can be an issue. This year the flies are worse than usual. We used salves, sprays, etc to keep the flies off, but it didn't work. The dogs rub the salve off, and the sprays were not effective on all flies/bugs. This WORKS on ALL the bugs, immediately. One 32oz bottle ran me $10 - I appreciate a good deal and hope it stays in that range. Soooo many cautions on the bottle, but this is a NATURAL product and I've had ZERO issues with it on my skin, around my face, breathing it in (couldn't avoid it, not trying to die like the label indicates =D), and zero issues for my GSDs and cats. I applied it once to the animals and immediately, no flies or gnats or bugs sitting on them. I've done it a few days in a row and I'm not noticing the bugs coming back, even if they get in their pool and roll around on the grass. We'll see how long we can go with one application. Highly recommend this product.

I'm not sure what's been different this year, but my poor dog has been eaten alive by horseflies whenever we go out. It doesn't matter whether it's a quick walk or a hike by the stream, my poor dude kept getting bitten all over--legs, ears, hindquarters. I felt bad because he was obviously miserable, so I searched for something with good reviews to help. This stuff is excellent! He doesn't LOVE being sprayed with it but he puts up with it okay, and it smells pretty good and works great.
