Coopers Fly Repellent - any good?

[LizGooch1]

My rescue mare wont allow any form of fly fringe on her head shes very headshy. In desperation i suddenly thought about geting some of this to at least rub around her face.

Its expensive but does it REALLY work?!

Thanks

 

[skewbald_one]

Yes.
I think its the only one that does.

 

[Evil_Cookie]

Yes, it does.

I keep going back to Coopers, nothing else seems to work as well.

 

[Honeyb]

Brilliant stuff - you get what you pay for.

Another vote for Coopers from me too.

 

[cavalo branco]

And from me.

It really does work but Leovet also does a fly repellant cream that you can sponge on too (plus it's a bit cheaper

)

Another Yes for Coopers .... it is the only one I trust to keep the Horse Flies off my TB

 

[Nudibranch]

Yes Coopers is v good, last ages even though it's not the cheapest. Kills lice too.

 

[wormhugs]

Another yes from me, I've used it on my boy for years and would thoroughly recommend it. Doesnt keep evil horse flies off him though, nothing short of a lazer gun would do that though

A huge big fat YES, its great stuff.

Quite lucky down at our LY as they are not really pestered by flies too much but I bought it because my horse had this weird lumpy itchy thing going on which would flare up ever so often, wasn't lice even though I checked and treated that separately nor was it sweat itch but the lady in the tack shop said try this, the vets use it and its fantastic stuff for treating all kinds of itchy skin problems and of course flies.

Anyway tried it and it worked a treat, also put it on once a week to for the flies and it keeps them off too.

Also treated another horse on the yard with it as she had a patch where she lost some hair and had been rubbing (this mare had not been anywhere near my boy and it was not the same thing) but that also cleared up in week after one application.

Thumbs up and worth every penny.

Excellent thanks guys. Goes off to buy on web...

 

[HayleyandBob]

just wondering how long people have found the 1 litre bottle lasts ? just for use as a general fly repellant? thnks

 

[spaniel]

I find I get through just over a bottle per horse through the summer months.

I decant mine into a plant spray bottle rather than wipe on and that helps eeek it out a bit!

 

[LCobby]

If she does not like a spray, dilute it in up to half anf half water ans wipe on with a soft cloth or small sponge,
