Why Citronella

Citronella has been used for generations as a natural way to manage insects and environmental stress. Its value is simple and practical: it helps make the space around a horse less inviting to flies and pests.

In Citraquin Environmental Defense Spray, citronella plays a focused role—supporting comfort outdoors without relying on harsh chemicals or overpowering fragrances.

What Citronella Does Well

• Disrupts insect attraction. Citronella’s scent helps mask the signals that draw flies, mosquitoes, and other biting insects.
• Supports outdoor comfort. By reducing insect pressure, horses are less likely to stomp, swish, and stress while turned out or working.
• Clean, familiar profile. A plant-derived oil with a long history of use in animal care and environmental defense.

Why It Matters for Horses

Insect irritation is more than a nuisance. It can lead to constant movement, broken focus, rubbed hair, and skin sensitivity—especially during warm months.

Citronella helps create a less attractive environment for pests, allowing horses to stay calmer and more comfortable outside without heavy residues.

Skin and Coat Friendly

When properly formulated, citronella can be used as part of a balanced topical spray that supports skin comfort rather than disrupting it. In Citraquin, it works alongside other ingredients to avoid drying or irritation.

This matters for horses exposed to sun, wind, dust, and frequent grooming—conditions that already challenge the skin barrier.
