Firecracker Dog Lover Posts: 3175	None of them work for up to 7 days like so many claim on the bottle. But - what I have found is if you use an oil based spray they don't evaporate off as quickly in the warmer weather. I am a fan of the Equi-Care bands and like the Citronella and Super-7 sprays. I spray them on daily and for the most part they work for a day and I am fine with that. Edited by brlraceaddict 2014-06-09 12:36 PM

If it Ain't a Paint it Ain't! Posts: 8519 Location: Mansfield, Tx	ctdrumrunr - 2014-06-09 1:06 PM Pyhranna works best but be careful. My horse gets welts from it and I can only use it sparingly on his legs. Blisted one of my horses back legs... so now I just used it lightly on her and then take a brush and brush it. the others I can spray and they are fine... Love this stuff... but I'm starting to notice the fly's are getting used to it... dang it... when I first used it they were GONE....

Dog Resuce Agent Posts: 3459 Location: southeast Texas	Use caution with oil based fly sprays. Some horse react, it burns their skin. If this happens, use water and keep rinsing horse.

Firecracker Dog Lover Posts: 3175	I've never had an issue with oil based fly spray on any of my horses ever. I don't coat them in it though - just lightly spray it all over their body. But you can darn sure bet if my horse had a reaction I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	I just got a bottle of Sta-Sound's Fly-B-Gone spray and so far it is better than anything else I've tried. A couple years ago I quit buying fly spray because none of it worked and I'd just treat them with Equispot a few times a year and then put fly wraps on if the flies got terrible. This year the horses are just giving themselves fly-repellant mud baths with all the rain we've had so I haven't gotten fly wraps out yet.

I Am Always Right Posts: 4264 Location: stray dump capital of the world	I just got back from the feed store and bought some Pyranha. It's what my farrier uses when he comes out here. I also bought a refill jug of my back up Bronco simply because it is inexpensive. I am shocked at the cost of fly spray. I add in Avon's Skin so Soft to the Bronco and it seems to keep it on a bit better and it keeps their skin so soft. LoL

Expert Posts: 1538 Location: South Dakota	I had always heard good things about Pyrana but I had two horses react very badly to it. I like Final Fly-T. It seems to work pretty well for me. I get it at our local Runnings.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1117 Location: MI	I can't remember what the spray I'm currently using is called..it's in a black bottle; it works okay but not great. I also use the SWAT cream, it comes in a little tub. I think they make clear kind but the stuff I have is pink. I have a palomino which makes the pink look a little obnoxious but I like it because I can see exactly where I've put it. The bugs and flies get her SOO badly and this stuff seriously works. I'm shocked when I go out the next day and she isn't all eaten up, that doesn't happen with fly spray. http://www.amazon.com/Farnam-Repellent-Ointment-Formula-6-Ounce/dp/B00061MSIA Edited by KDS 2014-06-10 1:39 PM
