Horse Fly Repellents & Sprays

Horse Fly Repellents & Sprays

Keep Flies Away All Season

Flies, midges and biting insects can make horses restless and uncomfortable, especially in warmer months. Regular use of fly sprays and repellents helps prevent irritation, keeps horses calm during turnout, and reduces the risk of bites and infection. At Zoar’s Ark, we stock a wide range of effective products to keep horses protected, whether in the stable, paddock or during long rides.

Trusted Brands and Proven Protection

We only supply products from brands trusted by horse owners across the UK. NAF Off, Leovet, Barrier, and Ezi-Groom are known for their reliable, long-lasting formulas that balance strong insect deterrence with gentle care for your horse’s skin and coat. Popular choices like Leovet Power Phaser, NAF Off Deet Power, and Barrier Super Plus use scientifically tested ingredients for proven performance.

Sprays, Gels, Washes and Refills

Every horse and setting is different, which is why we offer a variety of application types. Sprays are perfect for quick and even coverage before turnout, while gels and roll-ons allow for precise application around sensitive areas like eyes and muzzles. Washes and shampoos with citronella offer all-over freshness, and refill bottles provide excellent value for frequent use.

Natural and Powerful Options

If you prefer natural solutions, citronella-based products such as NAF Off Citronella Spray or Barrier Enhanced Formula provide pleasant-smelling, plant-based protection without harsh chemicals. For stronger defence, Deet-powered formulas like NAF Off Deet Power and Leovet Power Phaser Durative deliver long-lasting results even during intense activity or humid weather.

Year-Round Fly Control

While flies are most active in summer, maintaining a fly management routine throughout the year helps prevent problems from re-emerging. In early spring, begin using repellents to stop breeding before it starts. In late autumn, lighter sprays or citronella washes keep horses comfortable and coats conditioned.

FAQs

How often should I apply fly spray? Most products protect for several hours, but reapply after heavy rain, sweating or washing to maintain effectiveness.

What’s the difference between Deet and citronella repellents? Deet provides stronger and longer-lasting protection, while citronella is a more natural option suitable for sensitive skin.

Can fly sprays be used alongside grooming products? Yes. Apply sprays after brushing or washing, ensuring the coat is dry before use for best results.

Do gels work as well as sprays? Gels are ideal for targeted use and areas that are difficult to spray, offering similar protection when applied evenly.
