NAF Off Deet Power Performance Gel 750ml

NAF Off DEET Power Performance Gel – 750ml

The gel form of NAF's DEET repellent, for horses that will not stand to be sprayed and for the places a spray cannot safely reach. Worked in by hand it goes exactly where flies settle — around the ears, along the belly line, under the dock — with none of it drifting past the horse on the breeze.

The repellent action is the same as the spray: DEET confuses the insect's receptors, and NAF's independent trials give over 70% protection for six hours. A gel also clings better on a sweating horse than a liquid does, which counts for something on a close, humid day.

Performance & Benefits

• Gel formula stays put — no drift, no overspray, no hiss.
• DEET-based, independently trialled at over 70% protection for six hours.
• Applied by hand, so face, ears and dock can be treated precisely.
• Clings to a sweating coat better than a liquid.
• 750ml tub, NAF's only published size for the DEET gel.

Suitable For

• Spray-shy and headshy horses.
• Targeted protection on face, ears, belly and dock.
• Humid days when a liquid runs off with the sweat.
• Horses that get no useful cover from citronella.
• To cover a whole horse quickly, NAF Off DEET Power Performance Spray 750ml is much faster.

How to Use

• Wear disposable gloves.
• Take a small amount and work it into the coat where flies land.
• Use a cloth around the face and keep well clear of the eyes.
