When it comes to fly repellents, horse owners want something that works. Yet many horse owners, riders and equine professionals are wary of spraying chemicals on their horses and around the barn day in and day out.

SmartPak is excited to announce the unveiling of OutSmart Fly Spray - a pioneering, new insect repellent that is effective and safe for both horses and riders.

For smart riders who want the best for their horses, OutSmart Fly Spray is a new generation insect repellent effective against house flies, stable flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. It is non-toxic, as well as free of permethrin, pyrethroids, pyrethrins, and DEET.

Engineered to be smarter, OutSmart Fly Spray is powered by TyraTech’s Nature's Technology, a patent-pending, innovative combination of plant-based ingredients, making it safe and effective for horses, riders, and the planet.

“At SmartPak we’re always looking for new solutions to horse owners’ biggest problems and insects are at the top of that list,” said Jessica Normand, SmartPak’s Senior Director of Equine Health. “That’s why we are so excited about this next generation insect repellent, which uses the patent-pending, nature-derived technology from our partner TyraTech.

The formula is like nothing else on the market today because it’s plant-based and non-toxic, yet truly effective. I can personally attest to how well this repellent works because I stuck my arm in a container filled with mosquitoes at the testing lab and didn’t get bitten!”

Not only does OutSmart Fly Spray effectively repel insects, it also has a fresh, botanical scent riders love, and is coat-conditioning but non-greasy.

SmartPak asked some of the industry’s top professionals to give OutSmart Fly Spray a try. “I’ve tried many other non-toxic fly sprays, but they never seem to work,” said Matt Mills, NRHA Professional and Reining Team Gold Medal Rider at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany.

“Then I tried OutSmart Fly Spray and was blown away! In all my years working with horses I’ve never found a plant-based insect repellent that is this effective. Plus, I love how soft it makes our horses’ coats without being greasy.”

Hope Glynn, owner and trainer at Sonoma Valley Stables in Petaluma, CA and 2013 CPHA Horseman of the Year says “This stuff REALLY WORKS against insects, it smells great, and I no longer worry about what I’m spraying on my horses and around the barn. I also love that OutSmart Fly Spray is safe enough to use on yourself!”
