HUGE thumbs up for homemade fly spray

[Supertrooper]

Sorry I know it's boring but I'm so chuffed it works, 100% better than the stuff I've been buying at £10 plus a bottle. The flies were hovering other the top tonight but not attempting to land )

So what have you put in it then?

Water/white wine vinegar/small squeeze of washing up liquid/5 drops lavender oil/5 drops tea tree oil xx

 

[McLurker]

how much water and vinegar?
This sounds very good!

 

[Tinypony]

Sounds promising, any idea how long it lasts?

 

[Supertrooper]

I'm not sure, although I got some on my skin and the smell lingered for quite a while. I just can't keep paying the amount I have been on fly spray as being a shire x he uses near enough half a bottle every time! Xx

How much water and how much white wine vinegar please?

Thanks.

I brought a 350ml bottle of White wine vinegar from asda and used the same amount of water. Put it all in a plant spray bottle, just shake it regularly during use (you can also use apple cider vinegar) xx

Thanks Supertrooper. I can only visit mine once a day, so am always trying to find something long lasting. So far it's Coopers and Power Phaser, which are expensive.

We used to make our own and found it rubbed off easily, we now buy Ruggles stop it all and that is the best thing I've ever bought, it's fab for his mites ect and also a fab fly repellent so we brush it on our other horses and wash gypsy in it as the instructions say. Defernatly worth it the amount you spent on trying other fly sprays that don't work!
