Fly & Tick Pony Protector for Sensitive Ponies

“Was skeptical at first with all the brands and products that are on the market (many I've tried). The Pony Protector is by far one of my few favorites for an insect repellent that ACTUALLY works, especially in Texas summers.” ~  T.N.

Tips to Extend Effectiveness:

• Apply to the entire horse coat, mane and tail (don't forget the insides of the upper legs and body!)
• Reapply after heavy sweating or swimming.

A SOLID Neem-free, Permethrin-free, Pyrethrin-free fly and tick repellent for your tack box: 

Unpopular stance: I listen to the horse, first! And...then do what aligns with my lifestyle. Some horses are highly allergic to certain chemicals, some people are highly allergic to certain chemicals...natural or not. 

Flies are irritating, we know!  We wanted to share some key ideas about Fly Repellents. We use "one+ hour" as an honest amount of time we've found the repellent to work all seasons.

#1 Environmental factors: Temperature, wind, and rain can affect how well the spray works. Studies have proven that what works well on a grey or palomino horse in NE might not be effective on a bay horse in TX. Horses and fly populations are different. 

#2 Relief: We all have different expectations of RELIEF from flies. Some horses are in stalls 75-100% of their life, some are in pasture 100%, and some 50%. 

#3 Human health/horse health: We have different concerns and lifestyles. We disclose ALL ingredients. Different types of fly sprays can have different levels of active ingredients, which can affect how well they work, and not all fragrance ingredients have to be disclosed on the label. 

#4 From ORKIN: "Natural remedies can be effective in controlling flies, although they may require more frequent application and maintenance compared to chemical solutions. Essential oils like eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint have been known to repel flies." 

#5 MYTH: Apple Cider Vinegar in a DIY spray (we've made this mistake!) Apple cider vinegar is used to ATTRACT flies, not REPEL.  

#6 Many natural fly repellents that fall under the "minimum risk" are not legal in their labeling or ingredient use. We strictly adhere to the EPA rules in labeling and ingredients that we can use.

So, are Pyrethrin & Permethrin chemicals safe? 

• Pyrethrin and permethrin are classified as “Restricted Use Pesticides” by the EPA, meaning their product use is restricted to certified manufacturers. They are considered relatively nontoxic to mammals (including humans). Because pyrethrin is derived from a natural source (the chrysanthemum flower), it is readily biodegradable when exposed to oxygen, moisture, and sunlight and so is not considered particularly dangerous to the environment. 
• Permethrin also breaks down easily and is not associated with significant environmental issues. It should be noted, however, that pyrethrin is highly toxic to fish and moderately toxic to birds and bees, and permethrin is fatal to cats and fish and highly toxic to bees and other beneficial insects, so take care when using fly sprays containing these compounds.
• Permethrin is a synthetically produced insecticide that, like pyrethrin, works as a neurotoxin, overstimulating the nervous system on contact.
