Equine America Stinger Fly & Insect Repellent 750ml | Horse & Pony

Equine America Stinger Fly and Insect Spray – 750ml

Stinger is Equine America's plant-based fly and insect spray, in a 750ml bottle. Equine America rate each application at up to seven hours depending on the weather, which is the practical difference between a spray you put on before turnout and one you find yourself reapplying at lunchtime.

The formulation is built on lemongrass, garlic, pine oil, chloroxylenol, isopropyl alcohol and Eucalyptus citriodora at 0.320%, with trace castor oil soap. Equine America describe it as licensed under HSE COPR pesticide regulations. It goes on invisible, with no white residue left sitting on a dark coat.

Performance & Benefits

• Up to seven hours per application, depending on weather conditions.
• Eucalyptus citriodora at 0.320%, alongside lemongrass, garlic and pine oil.
• Leaves no visible residue on the coat.
• 750ml bottle, enough to cover a horse repeatedly through a fly season.
• Licensed under HSE COPR pesticide regulations, according to Equine America.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies through the fly and midge season.
• Turnout, hacking and working in, where a longer-lasting spray saves reapplication.
• Owners who prefer a plant-based repellent to a synthetic one.
• Applying to the body with the spray, and to the face with a cloth or sponge.
• Not a treatment for sweet itch that is already established — that needs a vet's plan, a fly rug and barrier creams as well as a repellent.

How to Use

• Shake well before use.
• Spray evenly over the body, avoiding the face.
• For the face, apply carefully with a cloth or sponge rather than spraying.
• Carry out a skin test before the first full application.
• Reapply according to the insect challenge and the weather.

Specification

• 750ml bottle. Our SKU 1009462, barcode 5060343793019.
• Ingredients: lemongrass, garlic, pine oil, chloroxylenol, isopropyl alcohol, Eucalyptus citriodora 0.320%, trace castor oil soap.
• Equine America state it is licensed under HSE COPR pesticide regulations but publish no approval number on the product page, so none is given here.
• Our earlier page listed lavandin at 2% with a lemon/orange blend and onion oil, and an HSE number. Those do not match Equine America's own ingredient statement and have been removed.
