Citraquin® Environmental Defense Spray (32oz) is a naturally derived, botanical fly season spray designed for repeatable use around horses, barns, and turnout. It is made for riders who want a consistent routine, straightforward application, and ingredient transparency.

  • Routine friendly: Built for day to day use during fly season.
  • No synthetic insecticides: Designed around botanical aromatic oils instead of conventional chemical actives.
  • Exclusions riders ask for: Does not contain DEET, permethrin, pyrethrins, or pyrethroids.
  • Ready to use: No mixing. No dilution.
  • Clean barn feel: Lightweight application with a crisp botanical scent profile.

How riders typically use it

  • Shake well before use.
  • Hold bottle about 6 to 8 inches from the coat.
  • Apply lightly and evenly. Avoid eyes, nostrils, and sensitive areas.
  • For face areas, spray onto a cloth and wipe gently.
  • Reapply as needed based on turnout, sweat, rain, and insect pressure.

Multi surface note: Many riders use Citraquin® around stall doors and fly prone barn areas, and on sheets or coolers. Spot test first and allow to dry before full use.

Availability: Not available for sale in Indiana due to state specific product classification and registration requirements.

Results vary by weather, turnout, and barn management. Most riders use Citraquin® as one piece of a broader fly season routine.

Botanical Components & Routine Use Notes

Citraquin® is built around plant-derived aromatic oils that riders commonly choose during fly season. The goal is routine compatibility and straightforward daily use, without relying on synthetic insecticides.

Cedarwood Oil

Cedarwood contributes a bold, barn-ready aromatic profile that many riders prefer for day-to-day fly season routines. It helps define the scent character of the formula without pushing the product into “heavy” territory.

Citronella Oil

Citronella is a familiar botanical aroma in fly spray routines. In Citraquin®, it supports the overall fly-season profile while keeping the formula positioned away from synthetic insecticides.

Wintergreen Oil

Wintergreen is used in small amounts to round out the aromatic balance. It is included for scent character and formula harmony, not as a standalone “active.”

Vitamin E & Castor Oil

Vitamin E and castor oil are commonly used in topical routines to support skin tolerance and coat feel during repeat application.

Citraquin® does not contain DEET, permethrin, or pyrethrins. It is designed to fit routine fly management programs used by riders and barns.

Common Fly Season Exposure

During fly season, horses and barns commonly deal with changing insect pressure. This list reflects common exposures riders plan for in day-to-day turnout and barn routines.

Horse Flies
Deer Flies
Stable Flies
House Flies
Black Flies
Ticks
Mosquitoes
Gnats

Results vary by weather, turnout, and barn management. Most riders use Citraquin® as one piece of a broader fly season routine. For ticks, routine inspection and prompt removal are always part of good barn practice.

Fly season is mostly about repeatable routines: turnout timing, stall habits, and what you keep on hand. If you want the full playbook, start here: Fly protection routine tips for horses.

Multi-Animal & Multi-Surface Use

Shake well, apply lightly, and keep it part of a repeatable fly season routine.

For Horses

  • Shake well before use.
  • Hold bottle about 6–8 inches from the coat.
  • Spray over the body, avoiding eyes, nostrils, and sensitive areas.
  • Reapply as needed based on turnout, sweat, and weather.

Beyond Horses

  • Dogs: Many riders use a light mist on the coat. Avoid the face. Spot test first.
  • Other barn animals: If used, apply lightly to the coat and avoid eyes and mucous areas. Spot test first.
  • Stalls & surfaces: Light mist on stall doors, walls, and fly-prone areas. Let dry before animals return.
  • Sheets & coolers: Light mist, spot test on a small area first, then allow to dry before use.

Note: Scent is botanical and crisp. As with any barn-use spray, spot testing is the safest default for sensitive animals and textiles.

Environmental & Regulatory Context

Citraquin® is formulated without synthetic insecticides commonly found in conventional fly sprays. The focus is a routine-friendly, ingredient-transparent approach that fits day-to-day barn use.

  • Formulation exclusions: Does not contain DEET, permethrin, pyrethrins, or pyrethroids.
  • Made in the USA: Produced in the United States.
  • State availability: Not available for sale in Indiana due to state-specific product classification and registration requirements.

Product availability and requirements can vary by region. Always follow label directions and local rules for use around animals and barn environments. For textiles and gear, spot testing on a small area is the safest default.

A Simple Fly Season Routine

The barns that stay calm in fly season tend to do the boring things consistently. Here is a simple pattern many riders follow.

  1. Start early. Begin your routine before insect pressure peaks.
  2. Apply lightly and evenly. Avoid sensitive areas and keep it repeatable.
  3. Adjust by conditions. Sweat, rain, and turnout time change everything.
  4. Pair with barn habits. Fans, manure management, and turnout timing do a lot of the work.
