Farnam Wipe Citronella Spray 32oz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SC Animal Health is the cheapest place to buy this fly spray! This is the fly spray we prefer for our horses in California.

We live in a highly bug populated area. When it rains a lot you will see black clouds around your horses stomachs. This stuff is one of only two products we find work the best. I will say it doesn't smell good, but it works and that's all that matters to me. I highly recommend it, especially for this price smartpak has it for.

My WB has super-sensitive skin and won't tolerate the industrial-strength bug sprays...but he won't tolerate the bugs either! I tried several different sprays, including DEO, but the only one I found that works to keep the bugs off and doesn't raise hives on my thin-skinned boy is Wipe II. It stays on all day, gives his coat a nice shine, and it smells great. Obviously from these reviews it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the other riders at my barn voted Wipe II the best-smelling bug spray around. I am giving it only 3 stars for value because I want it to come in a gallon-size so I can refill this spray bottle instead of having to get a new spray bottle every time.

I saw a friend at the barn apply this to her horse. He had come in from pasture and his legs were covered with flies...I mean COVERED...in the hundreds!! She put the Wipe on and they dropped "like flies." I've never seen anything work so fast...it's amazing. New flies that tried to approach and land on his legs were repelled. I had to buy this for my own fellas. Best stuff ever!!

I've tried many fly sprays and concoctions but most don't work for more than an hour. In early summer I only use all natural sprays like Flicks or Deo Lotion but by late summer my horses need better protection from mosquitos and this product works as well as brands that claim to work for days (none do). I have all 3 of my horses on SmartBug-Off eliminating almost all of the biting flies to begin with (dose your horse individually- some need more, some less) plus a big fly bag, and for a super buggy trail ride or extreme mosquito nights a light spray of this really does the trick.

Like so many of us, I have tried just about every type of spray out there to help my horse tolerate the bugs/flies/etc. I have found WIPE II to be the best on the market. Cheaper stuff was a waste of $$ and time.

Wipe fly spray is the best fly spray you dont need alot and it works soooo good., i have used other fly sprays but they don't seem to last., the only thing bad about this fly spray is that it brings the dirt to the surface of the hair., not very good for showing but this stuff really works and its not outragously expensive.

I've found this to be the best fly spray for our hot, humid Fla weather.....especially with the abundance of bugs in the summer. Seem to last somewhat longer than other, similiarly priced products and smells very nice. I also like that it sprays on vs. wiping it on with a towel. Only issue is that it is slightly oily but probably why it works so well in the humidity.

Our mare had an allergic reaction to the spots I sprayed. It caused swelling right where the applications were. The other two horses were fine, however. I continue to use it on them both with no problems. It seems to work fine for them.

This stuff works great! I loved it until I discovered that 2 of my 3 horses broke out in hives after use. Not sure what they were reacting to, but... had to discontinue.
