I saw someone recommend this spray on a thread recently and thought I'd try it.

Its not cheap! Think it was around £20 with postage.

The flies have been absolutely horrendous here the last few days so it was a good time to test it out. We've had midges and those dreadful big black things that have long dangly legs and hang out in massive swarms, plus greenflies too.

I'm actually really impressed!

We hacked out for over two hours yesterday and not a single midge or big black horrorfly landed on him. Some greenfly did land on him but they aren't really an issue as he doesn't notice them.

Overall, I'd say it's well worth the money and I will definitely buy it again.

Biteback Neem Supreme was the only product that had any effect for my sweetitch horses, and I’ve tried every thing out there. Nothing is 100%, but Biteback is not only efficacious but also environmentally better than others.

St Mark's Fly (bibio marci). Horrid things! People keep telling me its ok because they don't bite. I do believe them but they still give me the shivers.

St Mark's fly | The Wildlife Trusts

The St Mark's fly is small, black and shiny. It is so-called because it emerges around St Mark's Day, April 25th. Large numbers of adults can be found in woodland edges, hedgerows, fields and wetlands.

I use Biteback. I’m not sure which one, but I don’t think they do my favourite anymore which was Summer Nights.

Their Itch Relief spray is also very good and a friend has a horse with a mane again after many years of him itching it raw.
