Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does this fly spray really last 14 days like the label says?

Ans: According to the manufacturer, the 14-day claim reflects controlled test conditions, similar to most other fly sprays on the market. Real-world results can vary depending on weather, sweat, and how often your horse is washed or exposed to rain during regular turnout.

Q2: How often should I reapply this spray for mosquito protection specifically?

Ans: For mosquito repellency specifically, reapply every 5 to 7 days, which is more frequent than the standard 14-day schedule used for general fly control against other biting and nuisance insects around your horse throughout the fly season during warmer months.

Q3: Can I use this product on my horse's face?

Ans: Yes, but always apply it as a wipe using a clean, soft cloth or absorbent towel, and be careful to avoid getting it into your horse's eyes, nose, or mouth during every single application you make each time you groom your horse.

Q4: Do I need to wear gloves when applying this product?

Ans: Yes, the manufacturer recommends wearing a rubber glove or mitt whenever you apply this product as a wipe rather than spraying it directly onto your horse to help protect your skin during each application throughout the entire process each time.

Q5: Why does this product need to be reapplied after my horse is washed?

Ans: Washing, especially with shampoo or soap, can remove the protective formula from your horse's coat, so it's best to reapply this product each time your horse gets a bath to maintain consistent protection against flies and mosquitoes throughout the season.

Q6: Is this product safe for my horse if it gets into their eyes?

Ans: Avoid getting this product into your horse's eyes, nose, or mouth during application, since the label lists it as harmful if swallowed and a source of possible mucous membrane irritation if contact occurs during regular use around the barn or stable.

Q7: Does this product work as well against mosquitoes as it does flies?

Ans: Yes, this formula is specifically designed to repel and kill mosquitoes that may transmit West Nile virus, in addition to protecting against biting flies, nuisance flies, and gnats that bother horses during turnout or regular exercise sessions outdoors each day.
