I don't know of any homemade fly sprays, however the best one I've ever bought is Endure. It's sweat resistant and lasts about a week even in the heat of mid summer. I'll also be watching for a recipe to be posted as that sure would beat buying it all the time.

Vinegar, oil and a spoonful of dishsoap. Spray freely, but watch for cuts and not the face.

Put cider vinegar and/or garlic in food or cider vinegar in water.

You're welcome... hope one works!!

Oh, if you do find one that works, buy one of those garden sprayers...the kind you pump pressure into...if you put your flyspray in that, you can just hold the lever down to spray your horses (and it holds like a gallon, so you wont have to fill up your bottle as much)

Good luck... let us know if any of them work!

Have any of you guys actually tried one of these yet? Im a little nervous too but I go through so many bottles of flyspray every summer it would be cool to be able to make it at home
