Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent is one of two fly repellents designed and manufactured by Barrier Animal Healthcare - also see 'Super Plus Fly Repellent.
Both of our formulations can be applied to raw and exposed areas to soothe and calm irritation and stop the need to rub.
Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent is especially designed to repel all flying insects, especially Midge. It effectively protects against and calms the effects of midge bites and stops the need to rub. Unique in that it contains a much higher than normal level of antiseptic ingredients for more severe cases, where the skin is broken.

Uses: Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent repels all flying insects especially Midge. Although both of our fly repellent formulations can be applied to sore and exposed areas to help soothe and calm irritation and help stop the need to rub, the Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent is specifically designed to calm and soothe the effects of midge bites, having even more ingredients known for their antiseptic properties.

Horse Flies : Our formulation is powerful enough to deter the largest of flying insects. Horse flies are hated by both ourselves and horses, because they really hurt when they bite. They have a knife-like mouthpiece that breaks through the skin by slashing it, in order that they can then feed of the blood. The skin is left with raised, sore and very irritating lumps. Our formulations will soothe and help stop the need to rub.

Midge Bite (Sweet Itch): Sweet Itch is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva of the biting midge. This causes intense irritation and normally affects the mane, tail, chest and belly. Although moist, wooded areas attract midge, some animals are more prone to the effects of midge bite than others and it normally stays with them for life, so it is very important to use a good repellent that keeps the midge at bay and calms the effects of midge bites, ensuring that your horse, pony or donkey is kept a comfortable as possible.

Broken skin: Animals that continously rub will lose hair and eventually the skin becomes broken and sore. Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent is a gentle and kind formulation and can be applied directly to broken areas to soothe soreness and help restore lost hair.

Quiet Spray: Available in a horse friendly, quiet, fine action trigger spray. The easy to use spray has an adjustable nozzle so a quick turn of the adaptor will spray a wide fine mist or a sharp jet spray to get deep into thicker coats.

Sensitivity: Very rarely, horses, ponies and donkeys can suffer an allergic reaction to natural or synthetic products. If you suspect your horse suffers from allergies or has a very sensitive skin, it is always advisable to carry out a small skin test before use.

Endorsement: Living directly next to a nature reserve means our horses are plagued with the dreaded midges that cause the horrid bites and irritating itching. The Barrrier Animal Healthcare range has proven to tick all the boxes for alleviating the problems. We used the Anti-itch Soothing Shampoo, which left the coats gleaming and cured the itch! The Pesky Pest Wash kept the horses skins soothed and it did seem to stop the horrid scurf from building. The Enhanced Formula Fly Repellent is a must for us, out of all the various ones we have tried this is the most successful by far, and it doesn't break the bank to use either!
