Pyranha Suspension Technology - No Shaking Required: Unlike many fly sprays that separate and require constant shaking, Wipe N' Spray features Pyranha's proprietary Suspension Technology. This innovative formulation keeps the active ingredients evenly distributed and stable from the first spray to the last, eliminating the need to shake or stir. The formula stays in solution throughout the entire container, ensuring consistent fly-fighting power with every application.
Oil-Based Formula for Long-Lasting Protection: Wipe N' Spray's oil-based formulation is designed for durability and longevity. The petroleum distillate base allows the active ingredients to adhere to the hair coat and work into the hair shaft, providing protection that persists through sweat, dirt, and water. This makes it ideal for hard-working horses, those in heavy training, competitive environments, and situations where frequent reapplication isn't practical. The oil-based nature of the formula ensures extended effectiveness compared to water-based alternatives, giving horses protection that lasts throughout demanding days of riding, turnout, and competition.
Lanolin Coat Conditioning: Beyond fly protection, Wipe N' Spray contains lanolin - a natural oil derived from sheep's wool - that conditions the coat while protecting. When brushed out after application, the lanolin imparts a brilliant, healthy shine that show horse owners love. This dual-action formula means you're not just repelling flies, you're grooming your horse for a show-ready appearance with every application. The conditioning effect leaves coats soft, manageable, and gleaming - perfect for the show ring.
Citronella Scent: The pleasant citronella fragrance serves dual purposes: it's agreeable to humans while further deterring insects. The natural citronella scent makes application more pleasant than harsh-smelling chemical sprays, and the aromatic properties enhance the repellent effect.
Application Instructions:
Preparation: Thoroughly brush horse to remove dirt and dust before applying. For extremely dirty horses, shampoo, rinse, and allow to dry completely before application.
Wipe-On Application Method: Moisten (but do not wet to the point of dripping) a soft cloth with spray and rub over the hair. Best applied by rubbing against the direction of hair growth for better penetration. Give special attention to legs, shoulders, shanks, neck, and facial areas where flies most commonly congregate. Only a light application is needed - avoid using excess amounts. Do not wet skin.
Spray Application Method: Apply as a fine spray mist over horse's body for fast paralysis and kill of flies. Can also be applied as a fine mist to stable areas and around stabled horses for quick knockdown. Avoid spraying directly into eyes, nose, or mouth - use wipe method for facial areas.
After Application: Brush out thoroughly to bring out bright sheen on the coat and distribute product evenly. The brushing action activates the lanolin conditioning and brings out maximum shine.
Application Rate: Use 1-2 oz per application for ultimate protection. Effective protection results from only 2 oz per head per day. Do not exceed 2 oz per horse per application. Do not wet horse's skin.
Reapplication Schedule: Repeat daily or as needed based on fly pressure and environmental conditions. The oil-based formula provides longer-lasting protection than water-based alternatives, often lasting through a full day of riding and turnout.
Ideal for Demanding Riding Environments: Wipe N' Spray excels in competitive situations where flies can't be tolerated and appearance matters: horse shows, competitions, trail rides, clinics, and any situation requiring both effective fly control and a polished, professional appearance. The long-lasting formula works through sweat and dirt, making it perfect for horses in active work.
