Has some good ingredients
But the big container and even ended up doubling up the dose and it's made zero difference as far as the mosquitoes and flies here in Southern Arizona. But as I pointed out it does have some very good ingredients that are going to do some positive things.

SmartBug-Off saved my filly's summer!
I recently adopted a 3 yr old OTTB filly and moved her to NC, where we've had a record hot summer with terrible flies. She must have the most fly-attractive coat I've ever encountered, and she was being eaten alive. I had a great, brand new fly sheet and mask and was coating her DAILY in the Absorbine Ultrashield that is still working great on our other horses. Still, she was being bitten constantly. After 3 weeks of SmartBug-Off, it was like a switch flipped. I ditched the fly sheet (which made her too hot in the upper 90s here) and am using fly spray ONLY once or twice a week! Her quality of life is SO much better, and I'm thrilled to reducing our chemical exposure. She will never go another summer without this product. She also loves the taste, and she's a very picky eater!

Didn't see any change
I saw no change in using the supplement at all. Wanted this to work so badly but it didn't. Didn't see a change in the flies in my girls stall or on her body.

Happier horses
I wasn’t sure if this was really working because my horses were still bothered by flies and stomping some but they didn’t have blood on their legs from bites and I didn’t have to use fly boots. My replacement order got delayed and I ran out. I soon saw a difference with welts from fly bites. It must have been working and I will continue to use it.

Haven't noticed a difference
I really haven't noticed much of a difference. Still have flies all over my two horses. I'll keep them on it throughout the fly season, just incase it is scaring a couple away.
We have gone through 2 bags now. My horses enjoy the taste.

It really Works!!
This year As always I started my Trakehner on SmartPak off Ultra in April. I didn’t start my older TB mare On it because she’s been such a picky eater this year that I thought she would go off her food. Once the May flies (gnats, midgies) were out she was being eaten alive swollen scabs all over her body, despite fly spray and swat. So I decided to give her Smart Bugoff Ultra twice a day, load her up with it and within a week she was repelling bugs and within two weeks there was remarkable healing of the damage that the flies are done. There is no question that this product works from the inside out; the change was so dramatic. I also found that spraying their fly masks with the OutSmart bug spray kept the mayflies from swarming in clouds
around their heads. I wonder if the people who have not found good results have just not given them enough or tried it for long enough.

Not this year
I used this in the past and it seemed to work great..I changed barns, and this year it doesn't seem to help it all.

Helps a little
I have had my horses on this for about 1 month. It helps with the stable flies but not with the gnats, which was my main expectation. I have one horse who gets summer sores around his fetlocks from gnats, it hasn’t helped with that.

Didn't help biting flies and gnats
I tried this on my super sensitive thin skinned horse. I have two so I only fed it to one to see if it was effective I didn't notice any difference in the amount of stomping and biting between the two horses. So I can not recommend this product, especially at the cost.
