Farnam Repel-X Insecticide for Horses, 32 fl. oz, Pack of 2
Category: repel x

Repel-X Insecticide and Repellent, the first fly spray introduced to the market in 1957, remains a popular choice for customers to this day. This ready-to-use, water-based formula effectively kills and repels six species of flies, as well as ticks, gnats, and mosquitoes. Whether you choose to spray or apply it with a wipe, it can be used on horses, dogs, and their surrounding areas.
For horse owners dealing with fly control, the variety of available products has never been greater. However, no singular solution exists that can eradicate every type of pest entirely; achieving complete pest elimination is a challenging task! To tackle the issue of flies effectively, we recommend a three-stage approach: BLOCK - REPEL - REDUCE. This strategy involves using different products tailored to specific situations.
Block with Physical Barriers
The most reliable method to keep flies at bay is through complete obstruction. A well-designed fly mask serves as an excellent barrier against dust, dirt, and debris. This is especially beneficial for horses that are recovering from eye injuries, providing necessary protection and comfort.
Repel and Kill Pests
The environment surrounding your horse plays a crucial role in determining the most effective type of repellent to use. Deciding between a spray, spot-on treatment, or a wipe-on application will depend on the specific conditions of your horse's setting. In certain situations, using a combination of these methods can also yield better results.
Reduce Pest Population
To enhance your horse's No Fly Zone, consider a feed-through fly control product like SimpliFly from Farnam. This product works within the horse’s manure rather than acting on the horse's body, contributing to an overall reduction in the pest population.
