Customer Reviews for Amigo Bug Buster
Amigo Bug Buster
Unlike many conventional insect repellents, which can have a strong odor and other unfavorable characteristics, BUZZ BLOCKER insect protection is odorless, dry and tightly bonded to the fibers of the fly sheet fabric. The active ingredient used in the patent-pending BUZZ OFF Insect Shield process is permethrin, a man-made version of an insect repellent that occurs in certain chrysanthemums.?95% UV protection. Built in belly band for added protection as well as a removable neck cover. Silver with Navy binding.

"Our poor guy is hypersensitive to bugs and thankfully this gives him some relief, until our N TX weather heats up and then this sheet is just too warm. The fit is kind of odd, to get the length right it really hangs around his belly, and he's halter bred and not exactly light-boned. It actually fits our Appy better widthwise--although she's not as long as him, she's wider through the barrel--ok, she's a tank--and it doesn't gap as much on her. The drop is very long on him even though he's over 15 hands, but I don't mind because it helps minimize the bugs. Has held up well through the years with no rips in sight, which I can't say for his turnout blankets :(. Just wondering how many washes before the bug repellent wears off."

"If you're looking for 'full coverage', this is the sheet for your horse. My chestnut gelding is a typical 'red head' and gets very agitated with any kind of bug. Between the Amigo bug buster, with neck cover, and his full size 'bug bonnet', there was no place a bug could even get near him! He's in heaven!!"

"I really liked the idea of the repellent infused fabric, but when the blanket showed up it was far to big for my thoroughbred. It fit him well length-wise, but there is not enough ability for the blanket to be tightened through the bellyband, or the neck cover to be tightened- so this may not fit the light boned horse. There are no leg straps, only the tail band, and strap. We made due with it, but after only 1.5 months the blanket rotated on him during turnout and was destroyed. I will stick with the heavier duty fly sheets that have leg straps and the ability to tighten the blanket on the horse better."

"This fly sheet is one of the softest I've ever purchased. My daughter's QH mare is quite sensitive and she does not complain about wearing this sheet. The only reason I marked it a 4 on durability is haven't had it that long. The size runs true on length, but because she's only 14.3h, it's a bit long on her, although not enough to be a safety issue."

"I have been very skeptical of claims of breathablity in a fly sheet. This one is great! It is light weight, but is holding up fine so far during turnout. The fit just what my 18 hand warmblood needed. The leg arches allow for much more freedom of movement than any blanket or sheet I've ever tried. I hope they start putting those in winter blankets too. Best fly sheet I've seen!"

"My new horse developed terrible bug allergies last year so I decided to purchase this sheet. There were varying reviews but I didn't want to spend the extra money for the Rambo. I'm glad I didn't! This sheet works great and has held up just fine. So far no allergies and my horse is very comfortable out in the pasture."

"This fly sheet is the best ever. My 23 year old Arab has been harrassed by flies for the last 2 years and the fly sprays, ointments and regular sheets weren't doing enough to prevent serious irritation. Since receiving the Fly Buster, she loves wearing it and is much more comfortable in fly season. It's easy to use and fits perfectly. Her main area is tummy and teets, so I was worried it wouldn't cover enough, but because it hangs down quite far, the repellent in the material is enough to keep the flies from getting to her tender areas as well as those actually covered by the material. I haven't found any damage or issues even though she wears it from dawn to dusk every day. I make sure to re-adhere the velcro when storing it so it doesn't "stick" to the mesh. She looks like an armoured horse ready to fight the flies and I feel so much better with her protected and comfortable."

"got this for a horse that has the worst bug allergies that I have ever seen. so far I have tried it on him and it fits him good. now waiting on the rain to go away and the bugs to show up to see how well it holds up to our mischievous little gelding. if it works it will be worth its weight in gold. Feels like it is durable, neck piece fits a little weird but it looks like it will lay flat once it relaxes."

"Love it - it flaps around, scaring bugs away; it's light; it seems to work. My horses are big and they are a bit tight in the chest and shoulder but nothing they can't live with. It takes some getting used to in putting it on because it has lots of parts, so to speak. But so far it's the best fly sheet I've owned. I like how you can add or remove the neck, too. p.s. I'm always careful not to put this in the dryer after washing, as per the instructions... then again, I only wash it once or twice a summer (unless it gets super muddy or dirty)."

"I have a 24yr old Reinlander mare who has bad reactions to bug bites. The hives were bad enough but last year a bite on her belly got infected & she ended up with cellulitis. She has been pretty much bite free since I put this on her so even though it wasn't cheap it will be well worth it if we can avoid that again."

"I have tried several fly/bug sheets; this is now my second purchase of a Bug Buster, and I bought two...because it is the only sheet that allows my horse to breathe in the hottest of weather, and still does a reasonable job of keeping bugs away. I don't think anything is completely bug-proof; but she seems to have alot fewer bites/welts on her body than any of her stablemates. She is newly retired, and outside about 8-9 hours/day (stays in at night and blanketless). Unlike some other reviewers, it has held up even though she does roll and rub on the fence--she must not be as active as others. I am a believer."

"Great mosquito and fly repellant properties ever! But plan on buying several sheets to get through the summer. I have already gone through two, and they are both unusable now due to how easily it tears and runs. It is only July. Company sent me my second one, very nice. I am repairing it twice weekly. Now I am looking for a new brand of fly sheet. Apparently the bug repellant chemical compromises the material strength, and that is why it so easily runs when a little snag occurs."

"I ordered this to be shipped with my supplement order.
I like the fabric and it appears to fit my horse very well.
There are two belly flaps, both with velcro but the way they attach results in the fabric bunching under the straps.
I called and spoke with "Liz" who said she would call me back when she had time to go to the warehouse and check the fit......I called on Tuesday, today is Friday and I have yet to recieve a return call from "Liz".
It will probably be returned as the grooms will never be able to figure it out either.
Perhaps Horseware Ireland should consider having their products made somewhere else but China."

"I was raving about these sheets and would love to rate the Bug Busters higher for I bought two of these, one for each of my mares. They are truly insect repellant, even working on ticks, BUT after only two weeks, the Bug Busters both have big rips in them. The insect repellancy is good enough that I've been trying to repair the sheets nightly. They are definitely a disappointment. I've been using Horseware products for twelve years and have never had such a problem with their turn-outs before."

"The Amigo Bug Buster fly sheet is made better than others I have seen, but it still ripped after only 5 days. The horse that wears it is NOT hard on blankets or sheets, so I am pretty disappointed that it is already 'damaged.' It really does repel flys, even the small biting flies that make my mare incredibly itchy. I also do not like that the front chest buckles are not adjustable. That part hangs too low on her and it would be nice to snug it up some to fit her chest better. Overall, it's OK, it works, but I won't buy another after this one is beyond repair."

"I was very happy with this sheet. I bought it last summer for my black and white paint gelding. The sun fades his black out to brown without added protection. This sheet not only did a superior job of protecting him from flies, he kept his beautiful black coat. It also helped keep him clean. It is a soft fabric, and Coy loves to roll. I was worried it wouldn't hold up. After a whole summer of wear, it only had two tiny snags, which were barely noticeable. It also washes up nicely. Word to the wise....when you wash it, make sure the velcro fasteners are pressed together tightly or they will catch on the sheet. I highly recommend this product, and will be ordering more for my two new kids!"
