I have used a lot of different sprays and this one works decently well.I concentrate mine 4:1 and I have a lot of gnats,deer flies, and mosquitoes.You have to get them damp so an adjustable sprayer works the best.Doesnt smell bad either(sometimes I spray myself lol)This even works well for horses with sensitive skin;my medicine cap Paint cross doesnt burn or breakout with this spray.The price is expensive but since its a concentrate it evens it out a little.

Some of the reviews for this product say that it doesn't work well, but it says on the bottle to mix it stronger if they flies are bad! I always mix it up 4 parts water to 1 part concentrate and the flies stay away! I'm not afraid to get this product on my skin either, it's a lot more human friendly than some of the stronger products out there.
Highly recommended!

Also went on previous reviews and mixed as directed. Maybe they don't make it the same anymore, because an hour later, the flies were all over the horses - almost as if they were attracted to them. I even directly sprayed a fly a couple of times, and it just sat there and took it. With other sprays, they would fall off dying with one spray. TERRIBLE PRODUCT, extremely disappointed, and a total waste of money.

I have used this spray for years now and I find it to be one of the best that I have tried. If there is a better spray, I would buy it!

Price seemed ok to me so I got it & within a few hours the flies are back. Did just as directions stated & on the next batch added a couple more oz's. I went by the past reviews when picking since new to buying stuff for a horse & well I want buy this brand again.

I used this stuff when I was a teenager 30 years ago...remember the red metal tin? I haven't owned horses since I was 18 and the 1st time I used this fly spray again, the smell brought back a flood of memories! Love the smell!
But putting nostalgia aside, this is the best stuff out there. I've purchased and borrowed other products and nothing works as well as Repel-X!! Also, because it can be purchased in concentrated form, I can control it's potentcy based upon how bad the flys and mosquitos are. The concentrate is also the best deal for the money compared to 'ready to spray' formulas.
I never use anything else now!

This product keeps bugs off my horses for about 6 hours, which is the best I've been able to do here. Nothing else keeps them away longer, and I've tried almost all products.

I have used this of 16 years. I have tried other products (including those "green" products which is like water to flies and gnats) but they don't seem to have the knock down that Repel XP does. I do make it much stronger than directed. It will usually last about 5 hours on my horses, depending on how much they sweat.
