Grooming & Fly Repellent

Why choose a natural fly repellent for your horse?

During the summer months, insects swarm around horses, land on sensitive areas, eventually bite, and cause stress, itching, and restless behavior. This constant irritation can lead to daily discomfort, reduced concentration, loss of appetite, and even decreased performance.

In some cases, sweating further increases insect attraction—making proper protection essential.

The limits of chemical repellents

While some conventional products help keep flies away, they are not always well tolerated by horses. Many chemical formulations can cause skin irritation. Certain harsh ingredients may also pose problems for young or allergy-prone horses.

The benefits of natural solutions

With the range offered by La Boutique de l’Arbalou, you can choose a gentle and effective alternative against insects. Our detangling and shine sprays, horse repellent spray, plant-based stable deodorizer, and essential oils such as eucalyptus, organic citronella, and geranium respect both your horse and its environment.

A complete range of fly and tick care products

Arbalou Care has developed fly and tick control products that effectively repel flying insects and ticks while respecting horses’ sensitive skin.

Horse repellent spray

Easy to use and effective from the very first application, our fly spray is an essential product during the summer season to keep flies, mosquitoes, and ticks at bay.

Simply apply the product using our airless spray over the entire coat or on sensitive areas to provide immediate protection against flies, gnats, mosquitoes, horseflies, and ticks. Thanks to its natural repellent-based formula, it helps keep parasites away when integrated into your horse’s daily care routine—especially for horses prone to sweet itch or excessive sweating.

It is also effective against ticks thanks to icaridin, a powerful active ingredient known to repel disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes and ticks. Non-irritating, the repellent spray respects your horse’s skin.

Essential oils

All fly-control products from Arbalou Care are based on a carefully selected synergy of plant-based active ingredients.

Citronella essential oil, known for its repellent properties; eucalyptus essential oil, purifying and soothing; and geranium essential oil, recognized for its ability to repel insects—these formulas are designed without alcohol, chemical additives, or toxic ingredients.

Our fly-control solutions can be used on all types of horses, including those with sensitive coats or skin conditions, and are suitable for adult horses, yearlings, and ponies alike.
