Hello. The last couple of years I've been using Nettex Summer Freedom Salve and have found it to be quite good. I was looking online at their Summer Fly Cream (cheaper!) but can't see in the ingredients what the % DEET is. Does anybody use this and if so, do you know what the DEET concentration is, please? Thanks for your help.

Sitting in front of two 600ml tubs:

Summer Freedom Salve Complete (the pink one, which would be my choice): N,N-Diethal-M-Toluamide 2.5%
Summer Fly Cream for Horses (white, slightly more viscous) : ditto, 5%

FWIW, the pink cream has also completely dried up and entirely shed sarcoids from two of my horses in the past, also know of several other owners experienced the same.
I applied SFSC to deter flies from the general area; admittedly not huge sarcoids, but vet-diagnosed as such; on udder and undercarriage, so an unexpected and welcome bonus! Vet was very interested.
