In a clean, empty spray bottle, mix: * 2 - 4 ounces of Avon Skin So Soft * 1 cup of vinegar (either white or apple cider vinegar will work) * 1 squirt of liquid Ivory dish soap * Fill the bottle the rest of the way up with water Shake well each time before applying it to your horse. *If it's not strong enough, try using 4 ozs of Skin So Soft instead of 2 oz and use a little less water. If you play around with it, you can make a safe fly spray for your horse that is better and safer for them than the store bought varieties and cheaper, too! **Further down this page is a link to a horse discussion forum that contains a lot of different homemade fly spray recipes** ---- There are dozens of recipes for homemade fly spray. Some are good, some not so good and some are just downright UNSAFE. I've seen and heard of unbelievable things people put on their horses. NEVER use things like Raid Insect Killer on your horse or harsh detergents like Pine Sol. These are just not safe. While they may not hurt your horse immediately, it is poison to their system and will have negative effects on your horses health. Many affect the neurological system - in simpler terms, it can damage your horses brain and thought processes. If you use citronella oil, you MUST BUY 100% PURE citronella oil - - (check health food stores or online) - - DO NOT use the citronella oil that goes in tiki torches and other products for outdoor fly control! It is toxic! Please read labels when making homemade recipes. If the label on any product has warnings about being poisonous to humans and animals, DON'T PUT IT ON THEIR SKIN!!! Whatever goes on the skin goes directly to the bloodstream. Skin is the biggest organ of the body - (in animals and humans) - and the skin absorbs whatever is on it directly into the body. (This is why nicotine patches and Birth Control patches work) Toxic chemicals may not kill them or make them sick immediately but that doesn't mean its not hurting them. (or you) Please use common sense.
