Highlighted Reviews

— Morgan

"I love buying the concentrate fly spray. It really doesn’t take that much time to fill a bottle back up and it saves a lot of space in the tack room too."

— Emily

"Thoroughly spray, then 5 minutes later he's stomping at flies again. Do another thorough spray, and again 5 minutes later... I always have to eventually give in and borrow someone else's spray."

Bottom Line
