Location: Texas | Does anyone use roll-on fly repellent? How well does it work and what brand do you use?
Edited to clarify... for your horses, not yourself... LOL

| I dont. I just spray my hand and wipe it over the eyes etc. |

Location: Texas | I have been doing that, but this is for my 26+ mare who is retired and turned out 24/7. I was wondering if the roll on lasted longer. She is my baby and I feel bad seeing her swatting and stomping flies away. |

 Good Grief!

Location: WI | I'll use it when I'm riding, but for turnout I use fly sheet w/neck cover, shoofly leggin's, and flymask with ears. He's about 90% covered in mesh! I just don't feel like a spray on lasts more than an hour or so. |

Location: Texas | I love my old, baby, so much, I'm tempted to buy rolls of mesh, wrap her up from head to toe and send her on her way... Lol
I have a soft heart when it comes to her, but I'm sure she wishes I would leave her alone. |

I feel it does......i have yet to find a spray repellent that can stand up to the claims on the bottle......i keep a smudge going all summer..when we arent under a fire ban like now...but the bugs up here are few and far between but give it another month..those bug buster blankets actually help a lot i thouht.......m

Location: Texas | I actually found some amazing fly spray and its worth the $22/bottle! I highly recommend it, but I was just looking for other options around her eyes, nose and mouth. |

Location: Texas | M, has it even warmed up enough in Alberta to have flies yet? I figured you would still be buried in snow! |
