🧴 Composition & Performance

Barrier Midge Repel uses a natural, plant-oil based repellent system with active ingredients derived from essential oils — particularly eucalyptus citriodora oil — which is licenced for repellent use and approved by the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) under licence.

This product’s “enhanced formula” includes additional antiseptic-type ingredients to help calm irritation from insect bites and discourage horses from rubbing, making it ideal when midges or flies are particularly bothersome.

🪣 How to Use

1. Shake the bottle well before spraying.

2. Apply evenly to areas where insects congregate — legs, belly, neck and chest.

3. For soothing after-bite care, spray on irritated or rubbed spots as needed.

4. Reapply throughout the day, especially after heavy sweating, rain or washing.

5. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; follow label safety instructions.

📈 Ideal For

• Horses and ponies in midge-prone pastures
• Animals with sensitive skin or mild irritation from bites
