Citraquin® is the safe alternative for riders who refuse to spray question marks
Fly control is not just comfort. It is focus, relaxation, and ride quality. The wrong spray turns fly season into another thing your horse has to tolerate. The right spray disappears into the routine and does its job.
Citraquin® is built for calm, repeatable fly control without synthetic insecticides. We publish what is inside, skip vague labels, and keep the routine simple so riders can stay consistent through the whole season.
The quiet problem with conventional fly sprays
A lot of sprays win on immediate impact. The tradeoff is what comes with that impact. Harsh actives and boosters can bring strong odor, skin irritation risk, pet and water sensitivity concerns, and a general feeling of "do we really want this on them every day." That uncertainty creates inconsistency, and inconsistency is where fly control fails.
What Citraquin® does differently
Citraquin® is a naturally derived fly season spray designed for repeatable use around horses, barns, and turnout. It is built around botanical aromatic oils, not synthetic insecticides, and it is designed to feel lightweight and fast drying so the routine stays easy.
The safest fly spray is the one you will actually use correctly
That sounds obvious, but fly season is where good intentions go to die. Riders buy a spray, hate the feel or smell, worry about what is inside, and then spray less and less as the season drags on. Citraquin® is built to remove the friction so you can stay consistent.
A simple Citraquin® routine
- Brush dust and sweat before spraying.
- Hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches from the coat, then apply lightly and evenly.
- Target pressure zones: legs, belly line, chest, neck, shoulders.
- For the face, spray onto a cloth and wipe gently. Avoid eyes and nostrils.
- Reapply as needed based on turnout, sweat, rain, and pressure.
Most riders see better results from consistent timing than from spraying constantly. Fly control works best as a system: spray plus barn hygiene, masks, and smart turnout timing.
Where this fits in a performance minded program
Fly pressure is not just annoyance. It creates constant movement, bracing, tail swishing, and mental stress. Over time, that tension shows up in behavior, ride quality, and recovery. That is why fly control belongs in the same mindset as prehabilitation: prevent the stress before it becomes a pattern.
FAQs
Is Citraquin® meant to replace every fly control tool?
It is designed to be one piece of a broader fly season routine. The strongest programs combine consistent spray use with barn hygiene, masks, and timing.
How often should I apply it?
Apply based on pressure and routine. Most riders follow consistent timing and reapply after heavy sweat, washing, or rain.
Why does transparency matter for fly sprays?
Because routine only works when you trust what you are using. Clear ingredients remove uncertainty and keep riders consistent through the full season.
