— Maile

"Have used this for over 10 years, probably about 15 now, and it’s always been great. The smell is wonderful and it isn’t oily on the horse, it works for flies, mosquitos and gnats. I alternate between this and endure or use both when flies are bad"

— Diane

"Works great but need to redesign the pour spout ( like Endure’s product). Doesn’t matter if you use a funnel, you spill and waste the product - ugh!"

Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a reliable and effective insect repellent for your horse, Farnam Mosquito Halt Spray is an excellent choice. Just be mindful of the pour spout design and consider using a funnel when pouring.
