5 Reasons Why Mare & Clare Works Where Other Fly Sprays Don't
Flies aren't the same insects they were 40 years ago. They've adapted to the chemicals in conventional fly spray — which is why the same bottle that worked in the '80s barely lasts a couple of hours today.
So instead of trying to out-chemical evolution, we built a fly spray that works differently.
1. It's Easy To Use
Caring for a horse is a full-time job already. You don't need another complicated routine added to it.
That's why Mare & Clare only needs one spray. No mixing, no reapplying every couple of hours, no second-guessing whether you did it right.
2. It Stops Flies Before They Land
Most fly sprays are built to kill a fly after it lands and bites. By the time that happens, the damage is already done.
Mare & Clare works differently. Our plant-oil blend disrupts the scent trail flies use to find your horse in the first place — so instead of cleaning up after the bite, we stop it from happening at all.
3. It Won't Harm Your Horse
A lot of fly sprays rely on pyrethroids and permethrin — synthetic chemicals that come with their own risks, especially for sensitive horses.
Mare & Clare is formulated without either. Just citronella, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, and tea tree — nothing you'd need to Google before spraying it on.
4. It Actually Lasts
Most sprays claim all-day protection and deliver two or three hours, if you're lucky.
Mare & Clare is built to hold up to 12 hours per application — so you're not standing at the paddock gate every few hours wondering if it's time to spray again.
5. It Really Works
Most importantly — it does what it's supposed to do. It protects your horse from flies, without the reapplying, the guesswork, or the chemicals.
