"My WB has super-sensitive skin and won't tolerate the industrial-strength bug sprays...but he won't tolerate the bugs either! I tried several different sprays, including DEO, but the only one I found that works to keep the bugs off and doesn't raise hives on my thin-skinned boy is Wipe II. It stays on all day, gives his coat a nice shine, and it smells great. Obviously from these reviews it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the other riders at my barn voted Wipe II the best-smelling bug spray around.
I am giving it only 3 stars for value because I want it to come in a gallon-size so I can refill this spray bottle instead of having to get a new spray bottle every time."

"I was using this fly spray and it doesn't work well. Bugs were still on the horses, and it is super oily. It is disgusting if you get it on your hands. Wiping your hands with a towel won't get it off well. A horse that had it on before a ride needed to be sprayed off, and once you put water on the horse, the water got bubbly and foamy on the horse. It was hard to rinse off. I'll stick with Repel-X from now on."

"I've found this to be the best fly spray for our hot, humid Fla weather.....especially with the abundance of bugs in the summer. Seem to last somewhat longer than other, similiarly priced products and smells very nice. I also like that it sprays on vs. wiping it on with a towel. Only issue is that it is slightly oily but probably why it works so well in the humidity."

"I've tried many fly sprays and concoctions but most don't work for more than an hour. In early summer I only use all natural sprays like Flicks or Deo Lotion but by late summer my horses need better protection from mosquitos and this product works as well as brands that claim to work for days (none do). I have all 3 of my horses on SmartBug-Off eliminating almost all of the biting flies to begin with (dose your horse individually- some need more, some less) plus a big fly bag, and for a super buggy trail ride or extreme mosquito nights a light spray of this really does the trick."

"Like so many of us, I have tried just about every type of spray out there to help my horse tolerate the bugs/flies/etc. I have found WIPE II to be the best on the market. Cheaper stuff was a waste of $$ and time."

"This is a good fly spray. Doesn't smell strongly of chemicals. This spray has a slightly oily base to it. Not a problem just something to be aware of if you specifically like (or dislike) that type of spray.
Overall, it works just fine."

"I don't really think that fly sprays do much good, but the stable flies were so bad this year that I wanted to try to give some relief to my horses so I tried this product and it works! So happy I tried it and my horses are happy, not stomping their feet and losing shoes."

"Wipe II is an oil based, citronella fly spray that seems to do a better job than most at keeping flys away. I trail ride in the New England woods several times a week and the hot, humid summer days really bring the deer fly out. Wipe II stays on my horses coat better than the others and repels the deer fly better than most. One trick I use is to spray some on my fly bonnet to keep flys off my horses ears."

"I have used a lot of different sprays, and this one is a good value. I have had no luck with the sprays that claim to work more than 1 day, so I stick to middle of the road sprays, that I don't feel bad washing off after a ride and re-applying. Even my non horse husband noticed that that this spray works."

"I have found this fly spray to be pretty effective on all the flying insects we have here in MN. However, I find it very frustrating that it does not come in gallons. I have a whole row of empty flysprayers lined up. The sprayers are the best I've found, but it seems wasteful not to be able to just fill them from a gallon. Why support the petroleum industry by making more plastic than we need?"

"I have always used this fly spray, although at one point i thought i would try something else. For a while i was using absorbine EX which is more expensive and apparently works better. Honestly it's really no difference than wipe. I actually find that wipe is nicer, it helps bring a shine to my horses coat and even to his hooves! My sensitive TB is plenty comfortable out in the field for tunrout when I apply this product. It's a good value and a good product."

"I prefer to use Wipe applied with a rag but Wipe II is great for when I am in a hurry. I ride a very sensitive horse that cannot tolerate flies. This flyspray keeps him comfortable where others have failed. I have seen hives disappear within days of using this product."
