Barrier Super Plus Fly Gel - 500ml

Barrier Super Plus Fly Gel – 500ml

The gel is Barrier's Super Plus formula thickened so that it stays where you put it. A spray drifts and runs; a gel can be worked into the head, round the ears, along the belly seam and into the sheath — the places a midge goes for and the places a trigger bottle handles worst.

The active ingredient is Eucalyptus citriodora oil, hydrated and cyclised, at 1.5% w/w, carried in a blend of concentrated herbal oils, volatile essential oils and pure avocado oil. Barrier are explicit that there is no citronella and no vinegar in it, and that nothing has knowingly been included that may contravene current FEI and HRA rules.

Performance & Benefits

• Eucalyptus citriodora oil, hydrated and cyclised, at 1.5% w/w as the active ingredient.
• Gel consistency, so it stays on the spot instead of running off or drifting on the wind.
• Pure avocado oil in the base, which Barrier include as a skin and coat conditioner.
• Part of the Super Plus range, aimed at midges and the larger flying insects — bots, horseflies, house and stable flies among them.
• No citronella and no vinegar, and Barrier state their products are not tested on animals.
• Barrier state that no materials have knowingly been included that may contravene current FEI and HRA rules.

Suitable For

• The awkward areas a spray cannot reach cleanly — the head, ears, belly and sheath.
• Horses that will not stand for the hiss of a trigger spray near the face.
• Working repellent into specific patches rather than over a whole horse.
• Spot treatment alongside a spray — the Barrier Super Plus Fly Repellent 1L covers the body far more economically.
• Not a wound dressing, and not for use on broken or sore skin.

How to Use

• Shake well before every application — Barrier's own first instruction.
• Apply liberally by hand or cloth, avoiding the eyes and nasal passages.
• Use as and when required rather than to a fixed schedule.
• Patch test first on any horse, pony or donkey with thin or sensitive skin; Barrier recommend this themselves.
• Wash your hands afterwards.
