Natural Fly Repellents – Proven, Plant‑Powered Protection with HSE Approval
Pro-Equine’s Natural Fly Repellent category marks a breakthrough moment in equine care. For years, horse owners have searched for a natural alternative that could genuinely match the performance of conventional chemical sprays—without compromising safety, skin comfort, or environmental responsibility. Now, that alternative is here.
What makes Alternative Fly Spray different from other natural fly repellents
Alternative Fly Spray stands apart because it is the first natural equine fly repellent in the UK to meet the full efficacy and safety requirements of HSE COPR approval. This means the formulation has been independently assessed to prove that it works exactly as claimed and is safe for both horses and handlers — a level of validation rarely achieved by natural products.
Unlike many “natural” sprays that rely on unregulated claims, Alternative Fly Spray is a fully approved, performance‑validated solution. It uses two powerful plant‑based active ingredients — Margosa (Neem) extract and Lavender oil — to deliver reliable, long‑lasting protection without synthetic chemicals.
In real‑world customer trials, the spray achieved 10/10 scores across all key performance areas, including effectiveness, scent, ease of use, and skin friendliness, confirming its exceptional performance
Is Alternative Fly Spray DEET‑free, and why does that matter?
Yes — Alternative Fly Spray is completely DEET‑free. Many conventional fly repellents rely on DEET, a synthetic chemical that some horses find harsh on the skin or overwhelming in scent. DEET can also damage certain materials, including plastics and synthetic tack.
By formulating a repellent that is 100% free from DEET, Pro‑Equine offers a safer, gentler alternative that still delivers proven protection. Instead of synthetic chemicals, the spray uses two natural active ingredients:
• Margosa (Neem) extract, known for its broad-spectrum insect‑repellent properties
• Lavender oil, which contributes both repellent action and skin‑soothing benefits
These ingredients work together to create a plant‑powered defence that has been rigorously tested and approved by the HSE for both efficacy and safety — something no other natural equine fly spray in the UK has achieved
How do Margosa (Neem) and Lavender oil work to protect my horse from flies?
Margosa (Neem) extract is a highly respected botanical with natural insect‑repellent properties. It works by disrupting insects’ ability to land and linger on the horse’s coat, offering consistent protection without the need for harsh chemicals. Neem has been used for centuries in natural pest control and is valued for being both effective and gentle on skin.
Lavender oil adds more than a pleasant scent. It has recognised repellent qualities and supports skin comfort during the summer months. Horses generally tolerate lavender well, and its calming aroma makes application more pleasant for both horse and handler.
Together, these two natural actives create a synergistic, scientifically validated formulation that has passed the HSE’s strict efficacy and safety requirements. Combined with outstanding 10/10 customer test scores, they deliver a level of performance that sets a new benchmark for natural equine fly protection
