OutSmart Fly Spray Plant-Based Mosquito Tick and Fly Repellent - 1

Our review of OutSmart Fly Spray looks at whether a plant-based repellent can handle the common insects that bother horses and riders. The bottom line: this 1 gallon formulation is best for barn owners and trail riders who want a nature-powered option that repels house flies, stable flies, mosquitoes, and ticks while leaving a pleasant herbal scent. It stands out because it uses SmartEquine Natures Technology plant-derived ingredients, making it a solid choice when synthetic fragrances or DEET-based products are not desired.

Key Features

• Nature-Powered formula: Uses SmartEquine Natures Technology plant-based ingredients so users can choose a repellent with botanical actives instead of synthetic chemicals.
• Broad insect coverage: Formulated to help repel house flies, stable flies, mosquitoes, and ticks to reduce biting and nuisance insects around horses and riders.
• Supports horses and riders: Designed for use on both horses and in rider areas so the same product can protect tack rooms, cross ties, and people during turnout or trail rides.
• Herbal fresh scent: Provides a pleasant, refreshing herbal aroma that masks barn odors without overpowering horses or handlers.
• Generous size: Supplied as a 1 gallon container suited for repeat treatments at the barn, stable or during show season where larger volume is needed.

Who It's For

OutSmart Fly Spray is aimed at horse owners, barn managers, and active riders who prefer a botanical approach to insect control and need something effective against multiple pests. The 1 gallon size is practical for people who treat several horses, maintain a stable area, or want a refill for smaller spray bottles.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need veterinary-grade, medicated repellents for persistent infestations or products specifically labeled for continuous on-animal therapeutic use; this product is positioned as an insect repellent and barn-use solution with plant-derived ingredients rather than a medical treatment.
