Botanical Components & Safety Considerations

Citraquin® is formulated using plant-derived oils commonly used in fly and pest defense products. This approach prioritizes routine compatibility and tolerance over synthetic insecticides.

Cedarwood Oil

Cedarwood oil is frequently used in fly control formulations for its strong aromatic profile. It contributes to an environment that many insects avoid while maintaining a stable scent profile suitable for daily barn use.

Citronella Oil

Citronella is a widely recognized botanical component in fly and mosquito deterrent products. In Citraquin®, it supports environmental fly defense without relying on synthetic insecticides.

Wintergreen Oil

Wintergreen oil is included in small amounts to complement the overall aromatic balance of the formula. Its presence contributes to the product’s distinctive scent profile rather than acting as a standalone active.

Vitamin E & Castor Oil

Vitamin E and castor oil are commonly used in topical formulations to support skin tolerance and help condition the coat during routine application.

Citraquin® does not contain DEET, permethrin, or pyrethrins. Instead, it is designed around botanical components that fit routine fly control programs used by riders, barns, and multi-species environments.

Common Fly & Pest Exposure

During fly season, horses and barns are commonly exposed to a range of flying and crawling insects. Citraquin® is formulated for routine use in environments where these pests are typically present.

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

Fly control outcomes vary by environment, weather, and management practices. Most riders use Citraquin® as part of a broader fly control routine rather than as a standalone solution.

Multi-Animal & Multi-Surface Use

No mixing. No drama. Just shake, spray, and get back to the ride.

For Horses

  • Shake well before use.
  • Hold bottle 6–8" away.
  • Spray over coat, avoiding eyes & nostrils.
  • Reapply every 24–48h or after heavy sweat/rain.

Beyond Horses

  • Dogs: Safe, light mist on coat (avoid face).
  • Livestock: Apply to exposed areas as needed.
  • Stalls & Walls: Mist doors, corners, and bedding edges.
  • Sheets & Coolers: Light spray before turnout.

Herbal scent: crisp, clean, never overpowering.

Environmental & Regulatory Context

Citraquin® is formulated without synthetic insecticides commonly found in conventional fly sprays. This approach reflects rider preference for products designed around routine use and ingredient transparency.

  • Formulation exclusions: Does not contain DEET, permethrin, pyrethrins, or pyrethroids.
  • Manufacturing: Produced in the United States using naturally derived and plant-based components.
  • State availability: Not available for sale in Indiana due to state-specific regulations related to certain botanical ingredients.

Product availability and regulatory status may vary by region. Always follow label directions and local regulations when using topical products around animals and barn environments.
