"I've been looking for a fly spray that my horse isn't allergic to and his skin doesn't peel to. It DOES repel flies, and it smells good doing it! I have noticed when filling my bottle, the compound bubbles when you fill it with water .. other than that, I enjoy it!"

— Penelope

"I’ve bought this a few times now and it just doesn’t really work. I’ve tried increasing the concentration of it, still not much fly help. Smells nice, that’s about it."
