Fly Sprays & Repellents

Fly sprays, gels and roll-ons are the first line of defence against flies, midges and other biting insects, working alongside physical barriers like a fly rug or fly mask rather than replacing them.

This collection brings together our full range of repellents in one place, so you're not searching through our wider sweet itch and lice treatments range to find one.

Sprays, Gels and Roll-Ons: Which to Choose

A spray is the quickest way to cover a large area and suits most horses and most routines.

Leovet Power Phaser Fly Repellent Spray gives up to 7 hours of sweat-resistant protection, useful for horses working or turned out in hot, muggy conditions, while Farnam Tri-Tec 14 Insecticide Fly Repellent combines repellent and insecticidal action for longer-term cover between applications.

Citronella-based options from Lincoln, Gold Label and NAF OFF give a more natural alternative for horses with sensitive skin, and DEET-based formulas such as NAF OFF Deet Power Spray offer stronger protection for persistent fly problems.

Some horses dislike the noise or sensation of a spray bottle. For them, a gel or roll-on such as Leovet Power Phaser Gel or Roll On Fly Repellent lets you apply protection precisely around the face, ears and other sensitive spots by hand, which is also handy in windy conditions when a spray drifts.

When and How to Use

Start applying fly protection in early spring, before flies and midges become established, and reapply according to the product's own directions, since duration varies by formula and by how much a horse sweats, rolls or is washed down.

Always patch-test a new product on a small area first and check your horse's skin for any reaction. Fly spray supports your horse's day-to-day comfort through fly season, but it isn't a substitute for veterinary advice if you notice persistent skin irritation, hair loss or an allergic-type reaction, sweet itch included; a vet can help identify what's actually causing it and the best way to manage it alongside repellents.
