Frequently asked questions

Answers people look for most

Where does Citraquin™ fit in my routine?
Citraquin™ usually fits after the horse is cool and dry, when the goal is day-to-day fly protection as part of a clean routine.
Can I use it on the face and ears?
Many riders apply it to a cloth first and wipe it on carefully around the face and ears rather than spraying directly.
How often should I reapply it?
Reapplication depends on the label, weather, sweat, rain, bathing, and whether coverage is clearly fading.
What should I do after heavy sweat, rain, or a bath?
Reassess coverage after the coat is dry again. If the protection is clearly gone, rebuild the routine according to the label.
Will it interfere with wraps, boots, or gel?
Keep layers light and let the coat settle before adding other products or gear.
What about tack, blankets, or fabrics?
Let the coat dry before adding nearby gear or fabrics, and wipe off overspray from anything you do not want coated.
Can I layer it with coat shines or sunscreen?
When layering products, keep each one light and let it set before the next. Test combinations on a small area first if needed.
How should I think about travel or show-week use?
The cleaner approach is to keep the application cadence consistent instead of overdoing it because the week feels busy.
What should I do if the horse reacts badly?
Stop use, flush any sensitive-area contact with clean water, and contact your veterinarian if the reaction looks significant.
How should I store it?
Store it according to the label in a cool, dry place out of direct sun and away from freezing conditions.
Quick reference

Common fly-season situations

Situation Best first thought What matters most
Pre-ride application Start with a clean, reasonably dry coat Keep the coverage even
Face and ears Use a cloth instead of spraying directly Avoid sensitive areas
After sweat or rain Recheck after the coat dries Rebuild the routine only if coverage is gone
Travel or show week Keep the cadence familiar Consistency beats intensity
Consistency beats intensity
When to stop

Do not force routine care to do a bigger job

Stop use and reassess if the horse shows irritation, unusual sensitivity, or contact with areas that should be avoided. Contact your veterinarian when the reaction looks significant.
