mustangmari7 · 02-07-2005, 04:32 AM

What is your favorite fly spray, and why? If you know the price, and where it is available, that would be great. Thanks

i get bronco and then pure citronella and mix the 2!!!

Moostang · 02-07-2005, 05:14 AM

That stuff that comes in the dark blue bottle.. can't think of it now... in combination with that freedom spot-on. Now I can tell you I don't like that new stuff with "citronella" (sp?) that came out... it made Kristay break out in hives.

I personally like Bronco II ....its cheap and it actually WORKS. You can buy a regular size bottle for $4-6.00 at Tractor Supply Co.

For chemical based sprays, I like Absorbine Concentrate, Repel Xp Concentrate, Flysect Super-C Concentrate, and Absorbine Super Shield (only thing I don't like about this is that it's not concentrated)... For non-chemical fly sprays, I really like Deo Lotion Concentrate - Last year the bugs were REALLY bad an my horse was the only one that didn't get a single bite... it smells to high heaven, but it works *lol* Plus it has sunscreen in it, so it keeps your horse from bleaching out. I don't like to buy ready-mixed sprays, mostly because it's not as economical, and I'm poor *lol* Much cheaper in the long run to buy a concentrate

Most tack shops that I have been to carry all of these, as well as most online suppliers. I'll check through some catalogs and get some prices for you

)

Dover Saddlery (www.doversaddlery.com) carries Deo Lotion ($16.90 for 500 ml or $29.99 for a 1000 ml concentrate, and is on sale now for $12.90 for 500ml and $23.90 for 1000 ml - I got a 1000 ml... I spray my horse at least twice a day and I still have a lot of mine left from last year!) Repel Xp ($12.70 for a pint or $22.90 for a Quart of concentrate) and Ultra Shield (16.90 for a Quart or $49.90 for a gallon - ready to use, and is on sale for $14.90 for QT and 44.90 for gallon)

Schnieder's Saddlery (www.sstack.com) carries Deo Lotion, but only in the ready to use form, not the concentrate (500 ml for $9.95 or 1000ml for $16.50... much cheaper to go concentrate), Absorbine Concentrate (32. oz for $20.95), Ultra Shield (it's $.05 more than Dover's prices) and Repel Xp ($12.95 for a Pint, $20.95 for a Quart, or $79.95 for a gallon of concentrate)

Country Supply (www.countrysupply.com) has Ultra Shield (13.90 for a Quart, $14.20 Qt. with sprayer, or $39.90 for a Gallon) and Repel Xp ($10.95 for a pint, $18.95 for a Quart, or $68.95 for a Gallon of concentrate)

American Livestock Supply (www.americanlivestock.com) has Flysect Super C ($9.86 for 16 oz or $26.74 for 32 oz of concentrats... would actually be cheaper to get two 16 oz than one 32 oz *lol*), Repel Xp ($8.50 for a pint, $16.75 for a Qt, or $58.50 for a Gallon), Ultra Shield ($10.25 for Qt with sprayer - $10.55 without... figure that one out

, or $31.00 for a Gallon), and Absorbine Concentrate (13.55 for a Qt)... thay also carry Eqyss Summer Defense Marigold Spray, which is all natural, and does work rather well ($10.25 for 32 oz. or $32.25 for a gallon)

Hope I helped

If you have any questions you can pm me

I use Endure sweat-resistant fly spray. It's a bit higher, but it does the job. You end up using less in the long run.

I know that www.doversaddlery.com has it. www.valleyvet.com has it listed for 16.49 and if you buy 12 or more, it's 15.95. www.horsehealthusa.com has it listed for 15.99 and you can get a Gal for 46.95.
