Product details

SuperFly® spray and gel represent a new generation of insect repellents - not only do they create a protective shield from biting bugs, but they also care for the skin and are a pleasure to use. Initially trialled by our customer panel back in 2021 on a range of insects including New Forest crab flies (legendary for their ability to land, crawl and avoid extermination) and horse flies, these are now far and away our best-selling fly repellent products.

  • Maximum resistance and staying power:  the Icaridin ingredient alone offers 8+ hours protection from midges, 12+ hours from mosquitoes, 9+ hours from black flies, and a minimum of 5 hours from stable flies and horse flies
  • Triple line of defence: deters insects from landing – prevents skin-crawling – stops bites
  • Effective crab fly repellent: 82% of testers reported high repellency against this species, minimising their ability to land and congregate
  • Peace of mind: no toxic chemicals, only safe ingredients that are unlikely to cause a reaction or irritate
  • Cares for the skin: calms, soothes and smooths skin that’s already been bitten
  • Planet friendly: will not harm ecosystems, unlike many insecticides
  • Pleasant smell: use liberally without fear of a mouthful of toxic chemicals or a headache
  • Suitable and safe for human application

"Verdict: A high quality, affordable fly spray which is an ideal product if you are looking for a natural solution without harsh chemicals." Horse & Hound magazine

How to apply

* 24 hour patch test before use, ideally on an inconspicuous area such as the armpit.

* Spray evenly onto exposed areas, morning and evening (or as required) in the peak insect season. 

* During customer trials, the spray and gel were particularly effective at repelling crab flies when used together.

Our trigger sprays arrive in the 'off' position.  To adjust the spray, twist the nozzle at the and to the right [see the video].   It will produce both a fine mist and a jet.

What's in it?

It includes the following ingredients:

Icaridin - a proven powerful broad-spectrum human-grade repellent that will repel midges, mosquitoes, flies including horse flies; mites and ticks for 7+ hours at this concentration (20%)

Lavandin - an essential oil that itself has impressive repellent properties but is also known for its ability to calm the skin.  Naturally antiseptic, it's thought to support the skin's healing process and reduce the appearance of marks and scars.  Often used to relieve cramps, stiffness and pain in muscles, as well as assist with respiratory and circulation issues.

More sensitive skins may be better suited to SuperFly Sensitive.

It does NOT contain any N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) or pesticides.
All of Biteback's products are planet-friendly, vegan and cruelty-free.

A fly repellent that works!

"Absolutely brilliant. I've tried ieverything else I can on the market. I've finally found something that works. It smells very nice too, and the application is very easy. And my pony doesn't mind because the trigger is silent"

Works well

"Does keep fies away and smells ok."

It works!

"Simply the best, most effective fly spray I have ever used. Keeps midges, flies and horseflies away. The spray is excellent, never leaks like other brands and gives great coverage. As it has such a fine mist my bottle lasts much longer than the brand used on my boy’s field mate and smells far better as well. Excellent stuff!"

Carole G. (5/5)

Mixed view

"Not sure if it repels or not. Covered my mare in it as she was clearly distressed. 12 hours later combed a crab fly off her. She probably already had it but it didn't choose to leave or die. Will use as repellant but not convinced it is really effective. Smells nice and good spray mechanism."

Lisa W. (3/5)

Spray that really works

"This spray really works. The smell is pleasant. It’s easy to apply. I’ve just ordered again and while waiting for it to arrive I’ve bought a known brand super spray with deet to use in the meantime. Today rode out with one horse wearing the last of the Biteback bottle, and the other horse in the other spray. The horse in the other brand was constantly bothered by flies whilst the the horse wearing Biteback was absolutely fine. Really couldn’t get a better comparison."

Elisabeth S. (5/5)

Effective Fly Spray

"Highly recommend this fly spray, very effective and no nasty chemical smell. Have the cream for face & both work well on a hyper fly sensitive prima donna!"

Gina S. (5/5)

Love this fly spray

"I have used Biteback products for many years and wouldn’t use any other brand now. I have just bought the Superfly Ultimate Strength Insect spray for the first time and will definitely order again. Monty is very sensitive to flies but with this spray our rides are fly free and in the field he is very noticeably less bothered by the flies. It smells great too. Customer service/delivery is always excellent! If you are thinking of trying any of the Biteback products you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend"

Kay K. (5/5)

Super Fly spray

"This fly spray smells lovely it keeps flies off for short periods"

Trudy T. (5/5)

Great fly spray

"Very good product in excellent spray bottle, which has great adjustment from very fine spray to a long shot . Very thoughtful in being able to purchase replacement bottle without spray to save some money. Also grateful for either smaller bottle or 1 litre."
