I'm sure we've done this before but a search didn't pop much up.
Jess is very sensitive to flies and to sprays, summer fly cream (the yellow stuff) is a no go and phaser spray, both caused her skin to peel inside her legs and round her udder which is where she gets bitten the most.
I make my own spray with tea, vinegar, citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree, neem and listerine which is okay and soothes bites but it doesn't last long and needs reapplying every few hours and the bugs are worse than I've ever known them this year so I'm after something gentle that works for longer.
I've used Spot On in the past but nearly choked at the price of it now I'd like to try deosect but its expensive if it upsets her skin (which I'm worried it would as it apparently works ) and I've not had much luck with the ones in my local tack shop like NAF and Netex, recently brought the radol fly cream which is good but doesn't give the coverage being a cream. The best one that I normally use is the one aldi sells (human one in a green bottle) but I've used up my stash and they haven't had any on sale in a while
