"We live near wetlands so it is always hard to find good fly sprays for my mare. This was the first time I decided to spend a little more on a product not knowing the out come and honestly it just doesn't cut it. I have been using Bronco fly spray and it does it's job just fine and is much cheaper.
I figured maybe this would be better since the reviews were so great but that's not what happened. The trigger to the nozzle also broke within the week, not sure why but I ended up putting the rest of the mixture into one of my plain spray bottles to finish off the remainder. Not impressed at all.

"I ran out of my usual fly spray and so I bought this since it was on sale. It was alright but nothing I would purchase again, the bugs started to bite my mare after about 6 hours after using it."

"Tri-Tec is the best fly spray I have found yet. Better than anything by Absorbine or Farnam. I can see the flies falling off and wriggling when I spray them on the horses. It also has a pleasant smell and doesn't make the horse greasy. It doesn't last anything like 14 days, but it works pretty well for one day, or until you wash the horse or he rolls or sweats it off. Supposedly it also has sunscreen in it, which is a nice bonus, although I've never noticed that it made much difference to a coat bleaching in the summer sun. It would be nice if this flyspray were offered in concentrate like Flysect is."

"I've tried pretty much every brand of fly spray out there, and this is the one I keep going back to. It works well, and is the most cost effective. Even though other brands may be cheaper, I think the less expensive sprays actually end up costing me more because I go through them faster. While this doesn't really last two weeks as it claims, I only have to apply once per day, which is much better than the 2-3 times I have to use other brands. And no spray I've tried lasts more than a day. Overall, I've finally made up my mind that this is my favorite fly spray, and I think my horses agree!"

"I have been going crazy trying to find an effective fly spray. Most of the ones I've tried have not worked as well as their manufacturer claimed. I have to say the same about this spray. It works immediately when it is applied, but I would not say it is long lasting, certainly not up to the 14 days claimed. However, I love that it does not have a nasty chemical smell to it. Other fly sprays I've tried have horrible, and this one has a more pleasant smell so I don't feel like I am putting some type of horrid chemical on my animals. Unfortunately I'd say the effectiveness is about the same as any other fly spray I've tried, but I will be sticking with this one because it has the best smell out of all the others."

"I had a horse that was allergic to both flies and most fly sprays. This was the only one I could use on him and it kept all the flies at bay! He didn't break out in hives from either flies or the spray! It may be more expensive than others but is by far the best!"

"A horse at my barn freaks at horse flies. She is very well behaved. We used her in beginner lessons, but we always had to have someone near her to kill any horseflies that landed on her before she started bucking. With this fly spray, we didn't have to worry about the horse flies as much!"

"I have a paint gelding who has pink skin under the white part of his coat and I live in a very hot and sunny climate. He goes outside during the day and I was afraid that he would get a sunburn. I ordered this product and now I don't even worry any more and plus the flies leave him alone too. This is the best fly spray ever!"

"The one thing I love about this fly spray is its less-offensive smell. Other "long-lasting" and "highly effective" fly sprays I have used have a terrible chemical smell that is almost unbearable, especially when the initial application is done. I don't find this fly spray to have a terrible odor. I also have found it to be effective on my horses. I don't know if I would say it lasts up to 2 weeks, but it gets the job done as long as it is applied consistently."

"I thought that fly spray was bogus until I found this one! keeps my thin skinned TB happy as well as my "sweet-blooded" Warmblood. My TB dreads fly season (partly because he thinks he is a prince) and my Warmblood is defenitly picked on by flies the most. This product keeps them happy. first fly spray I ever used that actually worked."

"This is the only fly spray that keeps my horse from biting his belly and causing bleeding. I start spraying this on him daily in early spring all thru summer and his hair is all filled in now with no more bites. It doesn't last for 2 week though - I have to spray daily to help him fight the bugs & flies that constantly bite and bother him."

"I have found this fly spray to be much more effective than anything else I've tried. It's especially good at preventing the gnats from getting in and biting the inside of one of my horse's ears. I also don't have to worry if I can't make it to the barn every day because its effectiveness is long lasting. I am very budget conscious, but this product definitely is worth the cost."

"I've been using TriTec for years now. I think it lasts longer than the other brands on the market. I run a boarding facility and our boarders use various other products so I see the differences in how they work. Some of the other products need to be used daily but TriTec lasts several days without reapplication. I wouldn't use anything else. I carry flyspray in my trailer so I can use it right before heading out on a trail. I find it not only deters flies and ticks, I think it was the reason my friend and her horse got stung after we rode through a bee's nest and my horse and I didn't. EquiSpot really works well for our pasture horses. The past two years have been really bad tick years and if we keep up with applying EquiSpot as directed, the ticks are eliminated."
