Absorbine UltraShield Green Fly Repellent 128 OZ

Great product for the price!

Have always hated the idea of spraying chemicals on my horse. Was skeptical if this product would work well. Have been happily surprised! In my opinion this product works as well as any fly spray I have used in the past. This is my new fly spray. Gave this fly spray a quality rating of 4 only because no fly spray I have ever used keeps the flies away for more than an hour or so, and on top of that you're covering them with chemicals that soak into their skin.

This fly spray smells good and lasts about as long as any other after applying. It does not blister my very sensitive-skinned chestnut mare and she doesn't mind being sprayed with it as she has with chemical sprays. I am going to all natural sprays because of health concerns with the chemical types.....mine and my horses. I liked it well enough to buy another bottle..actually a gallon....to be shipped with my next SmartPak!

I have used numerous green fly sprays in the past and they have just not held up to the torture that is Texas summer. After trying several different things, I came to realization that my mare is allergic to the pyrethroid family of chemicals and cannot be sprayed with my usual my sprays (endure, Ultrashield waterproof, ect.). While she wears a sheet, a neck cover, a mask, and and summer whinnys sox, I still use this spray on areas that aren't or can't be covered (belly). It works as well as one can expect from a green spray and may work better in places where the bugs don't tend to pick you up and carry you away. It also smells really nice, which is saying something because I usually hate the way all fly sprays smell.

Works well and doesnt cause blistering on my most sensitive horse. Pricey, but if you buy it by the gallon, not as bad.

I have 3 horses who seem to react badly to fly sprays with pyrithrins/permethrins (one is confirmed allergic) and this may be one of the best alternatives. It is non-irritating and seems to help repel the small biters (midges, black flies, mosquitoes). It's not as powerful as the pyrithrin stuff, but at least it doesn't hurt my horses!

I like this spray because you don't have to worry about super hazardous chemicals, but I find that in order for it to work well, I add about 1/4 bottle worth of vinegar to keep away the little gnats that have been so bad this year. Haven't seen many flies around my horses, and the vinegar smells a bit like... well vinegar on my horse, but it's worth it. I like that I don't have to count days or give my horse a bath between sprays, and Charm seems to not mind it so much. If you are looking for a hardcore product, this is definitely not for you... Kind of pricey in my opinion, but I also lengthen what I have by adding vinegar.

I had my hopes up for this one... It looked like it was natural that would work in my buggy barn! It worked better than others I've tried, but definitely didn't make a dent in the buggy summer season. I would spray and spray and spray and spray and spray and never have much results. It does smell FANTASTIC, though! And it was a plus that it could be used on humans. I'm still searching for the perfect natural fly spray, but I turned to the UltraShield EX, which, though it has a lot of chemicals, does actually work! If you live in a not so buggy area, go ahead and try this, but otherwise, I'd go for the black bottle of UltraShield.

I was happy to see a product that doesn't contain pyrethrum as my horse is allergic to it. Unfortunately this product doesn't seem to do a thing. It's suppose to work up to 8 hours -- it might work 5 minutes. Seriously. The only plus is it smells good but my horse doesn't need perfume. Don't waste your money. Hopefully someone will come up with another natural fly repellant that works well that Smart Pak will carry.

The scent was great when in the bottle, but it didn't smell as nice after I sprayed it on my horse. The product attracted a lot of dirt to my horses coat and ended up leaving my horses coat sticky and tacky feeling. I would not recommend this product. I have tried other naturals before that smell much, much better and don't leave the residue that the ultrashield green did. Also, I did not care for the bottle. It was akward to hold, the sprayer felt too small and it acutually hurt as I tried to spray my horse...bottom line...I wouldn't buy this product again or receommend it to anyone.
