Used Swat on my gelding during the fly season. It significantly reduced biting midges and stable flies. The application is simple and the horse didn’t react negatively. Works well even after light rain. Would recommend for any horse owner in a fly-prone area.

Good product for regular fly control. Applied weekly as recommended. Noticed fewer house flies and sand flies around the stable. The oil-based formula stays on longer than other products I’ve tried. Slight drying on the mane, but not a major issue.
Evan Rampling –
My mare has a history of Queensland Itch. After using Swat regularly, the biting midges have decreased dramatically. It’s easy to apply and the horse seems comfortable. Works well in hot, humid weather with frequent rain.
