Shop Fly Repellents & Sprays for Horses

Flies and biting insects can quickly make horses uncomfortable, especially during warmer months or when they are turned out for longer periods. A good flyspray for horses can help form part of your seasonal care routine, alongside regular grooming and sensible stable or field management.

Our range includes horse fly repellent products in different formats, so you can choose what works best for your horse. Sprays are a popular everyday option, while gels can be useful for more targeted application. You’ll also find citronella products, DEET-based repellents and fly control options designed for use around turnout or stable time.

When choosing a fly repellent for horses, think about how your horse reacts to sprays, how often they are handled and whether they need support in the field, stable or during exercise. Always follow the product instructions carefully, especially around sensitive areas, and avoid applying sprays near the eyes, nose or broken skin unless the product guidance says it is suitable.

If your horse is particularly sensitive to flies, has rubbed or sore skin, or reacts badly to bites, speak to your vet for advice. Fly repellents can help with day-to-day protection, but ongoing irritation may need a wider management plan.

FAQs

What is the best fly spray for horses?
The best fly spray for your horse will depend on their routine, sensitivity and how they prefer products to be applied. Some horses suit a standard spray, while others may be easier to manage with gels, tags or other fly repellent options.
Can I use horse fly repellent every day?
Many horse fly repellents are designed for regular use during fly season, but you should always follow the instructions on the product. Reapplication times can vary depending on the formula, weather and how much your horse sweats.
What is the difference between fly spray and fly repellent gel?
Fly sprays are useful for covering larger areas quickly. Fly repellent gels are often better for targeted use, particularly where more control is needed during application.
Can fly repellent help horses with sensitive skin?
Fly repellent can help reduce exposure to biting insects, but sensitive skin needs careful management. Check the product label before use and speak to your vet if your horse has sore, broken or irritated skin.
