"The first went up about a month ago, and the goat shelter and surrounding area are still mostly bug-free. Works great, no chemicals, my goats are fine with the smell (Eucalyptus) and so am I."

— Pauline

"The initial Bugpellant worked quite well at repelling gnats in my horses run-in shed. But, the refill was not as stringent, and did not do a good job. May be it was old. I’ll leave my finale rating until after I use a second refill."

Bottom Line

The BugPellent Horse Insect Repellent Diffuser Refill is a decent repellent solution. However, due to the mixed quality concerns raised by users, it is recommended to monitor and buy additional details only if necessary.
