"This has been the only fly spray that works for me. Everything else I have used, I can spray right on the flies and they aren't at all affected. This works wonders, the flies disappear and die as soon as they are sprayed. This is a life saver, I highly recommend."

Better than most

"First time trying Wipe..it does seem to last longer than most sprays. I only used it on several horses' faces and necks, and noticed an immediate lessening of flies landing there. Did not use it on the entire horse, as per label directions, or I would have used the whole bottle in 1-2 days."

"I've been using this for years in an area where regular fly spray is just picante sauce to our insect population. I love that you rub it into the coat, and that it really lasts. In fact, unlike most products, it lasts longer than advertised.
THE GOOD: effective & laaaaaasts!
THE BAD: nothing really.
THE ICKY: you do need to think about how you want to apply this, because anything this effective on bugs probably isn't something you want to work with carelessly. I've purchased Absorbine's Mitt to apply it, and it works much better than towels or sponges."

"I love this stuff. My horses disliked being sprayed and danced around every time I sprayed them. So fly spray was not working. I decided to try this and they all stand still and let me wipe them down. I used it on their whole bodies. I wipe them down every morning and it lasts until the next morning. I use the show mitt that stores in it's own plastic bag. I wear vinyl gloves under the mitt while applying the wipe. I have 4 horses and the routine goes fast and they think they are getting a massage. It is a little oily but that is a minor detail compared to it's effectiveness."

"If you want a wipe that lasts this is the one to buy. I use this when I really need a good fly wipe, i.e., when the flies are relentless. I use a sponge to apply it and use it only on his legs. This wipe lasts close to 24 hrs, which in my opinion, is excellent. I use the wipe spray on the rest of his body. Great, great product."

"We have used wipe for years, it stays on the horses longer so therefore it works longer. It is slightly oily, so it brings any dirt to the surface so, We don't use it when we're showing, but for here on the farm and trail riding, there's nothing better !!"

"I have a mare that is very sensitive and I cannot use most of the other products on. I can use the Wipe on her and she does not break out into hives and it works for a few days. It is a little more expensive than some of the others but is the only one that works for my mare."

"this years bug population has been extremely high. I'm sure it is due to the above average temps and humidity we have had here in Michigan. I have tried numerous products this year trying to give my 3 horses some sort of relief from these pests. The Wipe brand was suggested to me by a friend and horse owner . She claimed she had been happy with this product the year before. However I have not found much or any improvement in deterring the biting bugs. It does have a pleasant smell and seems to stretch further than the other brands. So I am just rating this product as average"

"I've been using this product for over 10 years. It is the only fly repellent that lasts through a long (5 hour) ride.
Granted, it collects filth on the horse due to its oil base, but it keeps the flies and ticks off which is all that matters to me.
NOTE: Does NOT protect against mosquitoes"

"I add some wipe to my spray fly product to help the spray "stick" to the coat and last longer. Remember to shake it up before you spray. It isn't too greasy this way. For extra fly repellent needs I use it as labeled and wipe on belly and chest. Another staple."

"I have used this product for years but only recently realized how well it worked. I was using another flyspray that SmartPak sells and it simply wasn't working. The bugs were so bad that I couldn't ride! After switching to Wipe, the bugs were managable. It doesn't slow down the monster horseflies but I am not sure anything can stop those guys. I just whack them with my dressage whip!
I apply the Wipe with an old washcloth and store the washcloth in a zip loc bag. It gives my horse an unbelievable shine and it is comforting to see him relax as I apply it. When I am in a hurry I use Wipe II that comes in a spray bottle."

"Wipe really keeps flies off my horses' legs. Only issue is extremely messy to apply. Poured last bottle in sprayer and sprayed on mitt to apply. No waste that way. But you still need to have soap and water handy to clean up."

"I learned years ago that not only are Repellants needed, but insecticides too. When the insect lands, it picks up the "juice" and later dies. The repellant part keeps the insect from actually biting.
This is a great product for pasture horses. Too oily for show horses. I use a plastic-lined fluffy mitt to apply WIPE. I apply a good "dose" of it according to product labeling to the lower legs, chest, between the hind legs, and neck and body. Rubbing across the hair. I store the mitt in a coffee can."

"Living near the seaside salt marshes, we contend with nasty greenhead flies throughout most of the summer. WIPE is the only product I have found that will keep the greenheads off the horses. It's a summer staple in my barn!"
