EQUIMINS FLY SPRAY T&T Works effectively and where I
live it is notorious for midges and flies. Kept the flies away
for a good few hours before needing to re-apply.
Flies gone with FlyGon
We have solved the problem of fly strike by developing FlyGon, a powerful natural antifeedant. Tis very effectively stops midges and
other insects from biting, forming a bitter healthy barrier which protects and soothes the skin. FlyGon combines with the natural oils
on a horse’s skin to form a mildly alkaline compound which helps any bites or stings to heal more rapidly. Perfectly safe for use on humans (and
all animals), FlyGon is used to good effect by :- all riders, dog owners, fly fishermen, gardeners, shooters, ramblers, campers, the military, farmers and holiday makers.
Tried&Tested What our Reader thought - T&T I have been using the product for a
couple of weeks and my shetland has enjoyed Bug Go. Its easy to use and the Ponies seem to like it. Just a tiny bit crumbly on the edges once it has been used a few times.
can keep your horse free from mites, midges and all biting flies.

I have been very impressed with Fly Gon. Having tested it for the last 10 days I can honestly say its kept the flies and midges at bay. My shetland is normally scrathing like mad by now and my TB mare hates the flies, but both of them seem happy outside eating having been sprayed with Fly gon.
