Leovet Power Phaser Gel

Leovet Power Phaser Gel

When summer arrives and the flies become relentless, effective protection is not a luxury but a necessity. Leovet Power Phaser Gel is a high-performance insect repellent developed for horses that need reliable, long-lasting defence against biting flies and persistent midges. Designed as part of the renowned Power Phaser Durativ range, this advanced gel formula offers up to seven hours of proven protection, helping your horse stay settled, comfortable and focused.

Ideal for owners who want precision application without the fuss of aerosol products, Leovet Power Phaser Gel is a practical and highly effective alternative to traditional fly spray for horses. Whether you are managing a competition yard or caring for a retired field companion, this is targeted fly control you can trust.

Advanced Protection Backed by Science

One of the reasons Leovet Power Phaser Gel stands out is its formulation. It contains 20 percent Icaridin, also known as Saltidin, a well-established active ingredient recognised for its strong repellent properties against:

• Horseflies

• Stable flies

• Midges

• Mosquitoes

• Ticks

The formula has been tested by the Swiss Tropical Institute, demonstrating long-lasting effectiveness for up to seven hours. This level of durability makes it particularly suitable during peak summer conditions, when heat and humidity increase insect activity.

Unlike lighter liquid products, the gel consistency adheres securely to the coat. This ensures the active ingredient remains where it is applied, rather than evaporating quickly or dispersing in the air.

For full body coverage, combine it with a protective fly rug for horses to create a layered defence system alongside a fly mask for full coverage,

Why Choose Leovet Power Phaser Gel Over Standard Fly Spray for Horses?

While a fly spray for horses can be convenient, sprays are not always ideal in every situation. They can drift in windy conditions, evaporate quickly in high temperatures, or unsettle sensitive horses.

Leovet Power Phaser Gel offers several advantages:

• Precise application to specific areas

• Reduced product wastage

• No aerosol noise for nervous horses

• Longer adherence to the coat

• Greater control around sensitive zones

The gel format is particularly useful around the ears, belly line and inner thighs, where flies often congregate and where accurate application matters most.

If your horse tolerates spray application well, you may wish to alternate between gel and liquid formulas depending on turnout time and workload. Browse our complete collection of fly spray for horses or buy our best seller, Leovet Phaser Fly Repellent Spray.

Targeted Application for Sensitive Areas

Some horses object strongly to spray bottles. Others simply need extra protection in key areas. Leovet Power Phaser Gel is applied by hand, sponge or soft cloth, allowing careful placement exactly where it is needed.

This makes it ideal for:

• Spray-shy or sharp horses

• Young horses in training

• Competition horses requiring calm preparation

• Clipped horses with exposed skin

• Horses prone to sweet itch irritation

Because the gel clings to the coat, it is less likely to run or drip in warm weather. The formula also contains nourishing components such as avocado oil, helping to maintain coat condition while providing insect defence.

How to Use Leovet Power Phaser Gel

For maximum effectiveness:

1. Ensure the coat is clean and dry

2. Apply a small amount of Leovet Power Phaser Gel onto a sponge or cloth

3. Spread evenly over vulnerable areas

4. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes

5. Reapply as necessary, particularly after heavy sweating or washing

Thanks to its concentrated formulation, only a thin layer is required. Over-application is unnecessary and will not improve performance.

Many riders prefer to apply the gel before tacking up, ensuring protection under the girth area and along the chest without contaminating leatherwork.

Built for British Summer Conditions

UK summers can be unpredictable. Warm, damp evenings often bring clouds of midges, while bright afternoons attract horseflies in open grazing fields. Leovet Power Phaser Gel is designed to perform in these varied conditions, offering sweat-resistant protection that remains effective even during light work.

For horses living out, consider combining topical protection with:

• A lightweight fly mask with UV protection

• A breathable fly sheet

• Thoughtful stable management, including clean bedding and airflow

This multi-layered approach helps minimise irritation, reduce stamping and tail swishing, and protect sensitive skin from bite damage.
