"Repel XP is economical, lasts for several days and repels those nasty biting flies that seem to come out at the end of summer. Excellent product."

"My horse has very sensitive skin. I had trouble finding a fly spray that kept the flies away without bothering his skin. I used to have to drench him in a very diluted spray and then cover him up with a fly sheet. Then I discovered Repel-X. Now all I have to do is spray him up and he's good to go. The flies don't bother him and Repel-X doesn't bother his skin!"

"Like most horse owners, I've tried ALL different kinds of fly sprays. I've tried the kind that claims it works for 14 days but it never does. So I switched back to Repel-X and use it every other day. My horse is extremely fly-sensitive so I also use a fly mask and sheet. In combination with the Repel-X, he is very comfortable. The thing which makes this brand stand out from the rest though is the fact you can buy it in concentrate and mix your own. This makes it the very best fly spray on the market."

"Love this fly-repellent: it works, doesn't irritate sensitive skin, and is water-based (so less likely to attract dirt). And since it's a concentrate, you're not buying a lot of water and can adjust the dilution to suit your needs. One of my"must-haves" in the barn."

"In the Connecticut woods, we really need fly spray that works! Repel-Xp is a great value and keeps those flies and mosquitoes away. I see fewer ticks on my horse too (using the 1:4 dilution). Only complaint about quality: they could design a better pouring spout. You must have a funnel and steady hands to pour, especially when you are just starting the gallon container."

"Repel-X is by far the best fly spray I've ever used. It's a great value, but works better than most of the more expensive sprays. You do have to re-apply it after you hose your horse off, which is a down side.
I dilute it 4:1, and it seems to really keep ticks off, as well as flies and mosquitoes.
Highly recommended. Smells good too.

"This stuff is great! I have been using it for about 7 years now and it has yet to fail me! It smells good for a fly spray and it kills flies if they get in the way of the spray. It also kills spiders (which is a very key factor for me)! It works well over several days if you don't hose the horse off. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good fly spray that doesn't cost too much and lasts a while!"

"Excellent product that really works even on Florida bugs. The downside is that you must mix and use within a certain amount of time. I suppose the key is to mix only as much as you know you'll use right away. Since I'm no good at that sort of thing, I gave this up in favor of something that I didn't have to mix, but certainly not because it didn't do the job - because it does!"

"This stuff works, it smells OK, and you can mix it strong or weak (whatever you need). It doesn't make a mess of your horses coat. And, it's the cheapest way to go as well. This is the only fly spray I buy (and I have been buying it for many years). Thank you Smartpak for having it in your catalog!"

"Good old Repel X- it just works. Every summer I try a new fly spray and end up getting Repel X when that runs out. It keeps flies from bothering my horse and stays on. My horse is pasture boarded so it is great to have something that lasts."

"I prefer concentrate to re-buying RTU sprays over and over. Repel XP has worked where others have failed. And it's one of the better smelling sprays out there, in my opinion.
I do not have access to any indoor riding facility, so keeping the flies at bay is very important so me and my horse can focus on the work at hand."

"I purchase the Repel-Xp every year for fly and bug season. I enjoy that fact that I can make it as strong or weak as I want it to be and it lasts me a few months. So, economically, this is a great buy at around $25.00 for a quart as to paying almost $20 in some cases for just one bottle of fly spray that may only last a month."

"I bought this because it isn't greasy and had heard it works well. It really does keep the flies away. I will mix it stronger (as directed) if needed for ticks too. I like that I can use this instead of one of those "greasy" tick products. Smells OK too!"

"I just started using this product and it appears to be working. Rode through hay fields where my dogs picked up about 40 ticks each, while the horse didn't get any. Right now weather has been cool, so hard to say about the flys, I haven't seen any."
