      Fly protection - do's & don'ts for a relaxed summer

      DO: Prevent rather than just react

      The best fly protection doesn’t start when the first horseflies show up. Taking early action means less stress for both horse and rider.

      Tip: Fight flies at the source
      With the Ecobusters Fly Trap for pasture, you can reduce the fly population right where it originates – outdoors in the field. The trap works completely without chemicals, is reusable, and environmentally friendly. This way, flies are effectively reduced before they even bother your horse.


      DON’T: Rely only on short-term solutions

      Many sprays only work for a few hours – that’s fine for the moment, but it’s not a long-term solution.
      It’s also important to consider the surrounding conditions, like hygiene, manure management, and stable climate.


      DO: Focus on quality & natural ingredients

      A horse’s skin is sensitive – and not every ingredient is good for them. Ecobusters uses skin-friendly ingredients!

      InsectStop Spray
      The perfect spray for everyday use and while on the go: reliably protects against horseflies, flies, mosquitoes, and more – while being gentle on the skin and pleasant to use.
      Bonus: The spray also comes in a large refill canister, helping you reduce plastic waste.


      DON’T: Spray on wet or sweaty horses

      The effectiveness of many products decreases if the horse is wet or sweating heavily. Always apply sprays to clean, dry skin for longer-lasting results.


      DO: Use long-lasting protection when possible

      You don’t want to keep reapplying spray all the time, but still want lasting protection?

      Ecobusters Textile Spray
      A real gamechanger! This spray is applied to fly sheets, halters, fringes, or other textiles and offers up to 12 weeks of protection – no need for daily reapplication.
      You’ll need much less product without compromising on effectiveness.

      Perfect for eczema sheets, fly fringes, or saddle pads, for example.


      Conclusion: Smart fly protection = happy horse

      Effective insect protection doesn’t have to be aggressive or chemical.
      The right mix of preventive steps, well-formulated sprays, and smart tools like the Ecobusters Fly Trap for pasture makes all the difference!
