I use Absorbine 14 day stuff, it comes in a neon orange bottle and I LOVE it! It makes me itch, but it's worth it! lol, it keeps the flies away WONDERFULLY and it makes Tucson's coat super super soft.

We have noticed that the lanolin based ones seem to last longer. We had a friend that used to be able to get us liquid lanolin and we'd mix it with Skin-so-Soft and it will knock down just about anything and lasted up to six hours. This stuff came in big barrels and they used it for cosmetics and such, but I have never seen it in the stores or it is always the thick stuff.

I used to use Bronco,just because it is cheap.It protects for a short amount of time only.The Avon SSS worked ok,but with the flys being so aggresive this year I have to use chemical sprays again..
