Deosect fly repellant - your views?

[Angelbones]

I have just posted this as an item I couldn't live without at the stables. I've always used the cattle one but now I see they have launched a horse version. I love the old one, but will try the horse one. Just wondered if anyone else loves this stuff or hates it? Fiddly to apply I know but I reckon its worth it as it lasts for such a long time...

This product has been mentioned in my thread about lice too!

I used it as a fly repellent when I lived in England and highly recommend it's efficiency, it's worth putting up with the smell

The horse version has been available for YEARS! It's fantastic, always recommend it.

Got to be honest I dont think anything really works, maybe our flies are particulary bad?? The best thing Ive used is Phaser but my horse reacted to it. Ive tried deosect, coopers etc but they still get mithered by the flies and Iapart from phaser I cant really tell any difference.
