Searching for the right insect repellent for barn life can bring up a lot of options. If you're specifically looking for a natural insect repellent for horses, there are a few things worth considering before you buy.
1. Look at the Ingredients
Start with the label.
If reducing conventional chemicals is important to you, look for plant-based formulas and clearly identified ingredients. Skitopel® is 100% all-natural, DEET-free, chemical-free, and biodegradable.
2. Consider the Insects You're Dealing With
Barns and pastures can attract more than one type of pest.
Depending on the environment and season, horses and riders may encounter mosquitoes, gnats, biting flies, chiggers, and ticks.
Choosing a repellent designed for multiple types of insects can simplify your barn routine.
3. Think About How Much You'll Use
Horse owners can go through insect repellent quickly, especially during peak summer bug season.
If you're regularly applying repellent around the barn, preparing for horse shows, or spending hours outside, consider a larger bottle rather than repeatedly purchasing smaller sizes.
Skitopel®'s new 32 oz. Natural Insect Repellent Spray is designed with frequent-use environments like barns, stables, farms, and horse shows in mind.
4. Make Convenience a Priority
The best insect repellent isn't very useful if it's never where you need it.
Keep your larger bottle somewhere convenient—such as the tack room, grooming area, stable, or horse trailer—so it's easy to incorporate into your routine.
Find Your Natural Barn Essential
Choosing insect protection doesn't have to mean choosing harsh chemicals. With the right product and a consistent fly-management routine, you can be better prepared for bug season.
