NAF Off Deet Power Performance Fly Spray 750ml

NAF Off DEET Power Performance Spray – 750ml

DEET Power Performance is the strongest repellent NAF make, built around DEET — the compound developed by US soldiers in 1946 and still the benchmark. It confuses a flying insect's receptors so the horse cannot be located, and NAF's independent trials put it at over 70% protection for six hours before it begins to wear off.

NAF say it holds up in humid conditions, which is exactly where lighter repellents fail first. Two things are worth knowing before you buy: this is a synthetic repellent rather than a plant-based one, and NAF specifically warn against substituting a human DEET product, because the concentrations sold for people are too high for a horse.

Performance & Benefits

• Contains DEET at what NAF describe as industry-leading levels for an equine repellent.
• Independently trialled at over 70% protection for six hours.
• Holds up in humid conditions, where lighter repellents fade quickly.
• Works by confusing insect receptors rather than by scent masking alone.
• 750ml trigger bottle, refillable from the 2.5L and 5L refills.

Suitable For

• Horses under heavy horsefly, midge or mosquito pressure.
• Summer turnout in woodland, near water, or on close humid days.
• Travelling and competing, where relief needs to last through the day.
• Horses that get no useful cover from a citronella repellent.
• For sensitive skin, or a gentler option for daily use, NAF Off Citronella Spray 750ml is the alternative.

How to Use

• Shake well before use.
• Spray over the coat and down the legs from a short distance, against the lie of the hair.
• Apply around the face with a sponge or cloth — never spray towards the head.
• Reapply after roughly six hours, and after rain or washing.
