We’ve developed a solution to reduce reliance on a spray and still keep flies away from your horse. Our brand NEW FLYGARD® Extra Strength Gel. The perfect partner to our FLYGARD® Extra Strength Insect Repellent Spray. Based on the same formula as our favourite fly spray our new Gel allows you to apply by hand or sponge for greater coverage. The concentrated application of gel contains 10% DEET for optimal, long lasting protection for a more accurate and alternative application ideal for faces and, ‘spray nervous’ horses.
Flygard® Extra Strength Gel FAQ’S
*Currently available in the UK & NI
We recommend application every 12 hours and more regularly if the horse is exposed to heavy rain or excessive sweating.
External factors such as temperature, fly type and numbers should also be factored in.
No, their is no withdrawal period with Flygard Gel as the active ingredient DEET (N, N-diethylmeta-toluamide) is not on the banned or controlled list of prohibited ingredients published by they FEI.
Flygard gel is for external use only! Great to use on areas hard to treat with sprays such as the face and underneath the horse. The perfect solution for spray nervous horses.
Apply a thin layer of Flygard Gel on to the horse, using your hand (gloves should be worn if prone to sensitive skin) or a cloth. Avoid getting the gel in the eyes and mouth.
Every horse is different, some more sensitive than others to certain ingredients. Therefore we advise to do a patch test 24 hours before use.
When looking at the active ingredients, the higher the % will provide longer lasting protection for your horse.
Finding the right fly repellent for your horse is trial and error. Ingredients and personal preference may are a factor and also how they work against different flies, in different areas on different horses.
DEET and Citriodiol are approved ingredients and are proven to be effective against a range of biting, flying insects.
Highly recommend Flygard Extra Strength Gel if your horse isn’t comfortable with fly sprays. Easy to apply by hand or a cloth and a little goes a long way. Billy suffers with Ear Plague and this product is fantastic to apply to the face and around the ears to keep those pesky fly’s at bay!

Not only can you buy the spray, you can now get your hands on the gel!! Carr & Day & Martin products are amazing for keeping those pesky midges and flying/biting insects away from your horse. The new gel is perfect for those horses who dislike sprays or for applying to more sensitive areas such as the face, ears and sheath.
Opal is not the best when it comes to sprays, so this has been perfect for him. He allows me to spray his body but I have used the gel on his sheath, face, neck and ears. I applied a small amount onto a cloth and wiped him over in those areas. A little goes a long way and I am really pleased to see him come in from the field bite free. It also smells absolutely amazing!! It is long lasting and I can still smell it at the end of the day. Another fabulous product from Carr & Day & Martin 👏👏
