Carr Day & Martin Flygard Insect Repellent Spray – 5 Litre

Carr & Day & Martin Flygard Insect Repellent Spray – 5 Litre

This is the 5 litre container of standard Flygard — the yard size. At that volume it is a refill rather than an applicator: you decant into a trigger bottle and work from that, which is how most yards run a fly spray through a summer across several horses.

The formulation is identical to the 500ml: Citriodiol from Eucalyptus Citriodora oil with citronella oils, water-based, citrus-scented, and carrying the added coat conditioners that make standard Flygard the one Carr & Day & Martin recommend for horses with fly irritation or skin problems. Twice-daily application across a full string is where 5 litres starts to make sense.

Performance & Benefits

• Five litres of the standard Flygard formulation — the largest size Carr & Day & Martin make it in.
• Citriodiol from Eucalyptus Citriodora oil, with citronella oils for lasting defence.
• Added coat conditioners, so repeated daily use does not dry the coat out.
• Water-based and citrus-scented.
• Decants into a trigger bottle, so one container covers a whole yard.
• Provides instant protection on application.

Suitable For

• Yards, livery and riding schools running several horses through fly season.
• Anyone who empties a 500ml bottle in a fortnight.
• Horses with fly irritation or compromised skin, which is what this formulation is aimed at.
• Twice-daily application across a string all summer.
• Too much for one horse used occasionally — the 500ml trigger bottle of the same formulation is the sensible size for that.

How to Use

• Shake well before use.
• Decant into a clean trigger spray bottle for application.
• Spray directly onto the horse from about 25cm away.
• Apply to sensitive areas with a cloth or sponge.
• Apply twice daily for maximum protection, and test on a small area of skin 24 hours before general use.

Specification

• 5 litre container.
• Actives: Citriodiol, produced from Eucalyptus Citriodora oil, with Citronella Oil.
• Water-based formulation with added coat conditioners.
• Carr & Day & Martin list Flygard in 500ml and 5 litre; this is the larger of the two.
• Carr & Day & Martin name the actives but publish no percentage concentrations, so none are stated here.

Care & Caution

• This is a biocidal product. Use biocides safely; always read the label and product information before use.
• Decant carefully — a 5 litre container is heavy and awkward, and this is a repellent you do not want running over your hands.
• Test on a small area of skin 24 hours before general use.
• Keep it away from the eyes and nostrils, and do not apply to broken skin or open sores.
• Carr & Day & Martin publish no FEI or BHA statement for standard Flygard, so confirm the current rules with your governing body before competing.
