Homemade Fly Spray - Natural Fly Repellent
Commercial fly repellents continue to rise in cost and homemade fly sprays are a proven way to avoid problems.
Try our natural fly repellents to make sure you know what you are spraying on your horse and save yourself some money in the process.
Organic Fly Spray
I started making my own fly spray last year and I was quite pleased with the results.
The only downside is that, in my experience, the natural home made sprays don't have the same staying power as some of the shop bought chemicals. It really hasn't been an issue for me as I spray them twice a day with the homemade spray. In the morning and after dinner before turnout.
Organic Fly Spray - you will need a sturdy ½ gallon container.
- Add 4 tablespoons of eucalyptus oil
- Add 4 tablespoons of citronella oil
- Add 1 pint of apple cider vinegar
- Add ½ pint of witch hazel
- Fill remainder of ½ gallon container with water.
Apply as needed using spray bottle or just wipe on.
Natural Fly Repellent
Firstly, give your horse a good soap bath and rinse or hose off.
Then, give your horse a final rinse with white vinegar.
This will help to remove the soap and white vinegar also acts as a natural hair conditioner and fly repellent.
Remember - Be sure to spot test your horse before using any fly spray or repellents.
