Great product for multi animals !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having this on hand in the barn for the horses and donkeys. The abilities to ward off flies and all insects from wounds. Swat keeps the skin soft while it heals up. Especially works well lightly put area eye areas when they won't keep a fly mask on. Lasting effects and is non irritating.

Always great
Have been using swat for years but hadn't recently. My appy mare gets horrible scabby bites on her belly and ears and this is perfect to treat them as well as keep the bugs a way!

Great product
I use the pink swat to keep bugs off my gelding in the pasture. I use it daily. Keeps bugs from biting. I just put pink dots on his chest and stomach.

We LOVE SWAT
We use this on our mare who has an area on her belly that the flies just love to congregate on. We also use it when riding on the horses ears and around their eyes to keep the flies from bothering them. It works great!

Swat great for many things
I have used Swat for many years and many purposes. It’s safe to apply anywhere on horses and does a great job of healing and keeping flies away. Both pink and clear work equally well, but pink is easier to see!

great product!
I think the pink stays on better in the extreme hot Arizona sun. but it really keeps the flies away from wounds, under the belly, and I don't care that it is bright pink!

Pink Swat
I love this stuff. I've been using it for years. I especially like the pink because I can see where I put it. It keeps the area moist and the bugs away. I highly recommend it.

Great product
Got this when I noticed my horse getting a raw spot on her belly from flies. Got this stuff and put it on for a few days and it pretty much healed it. Kinda like This is a fly repellent and neosporin for horses.

Works great for repelling flies from wounds. I'm glad that it now comes in pink and clear.

Keeps flies at bay
I use this around my horses eyes and down his midline where flies and gnats like to congregate. It keeps flies and gnats from landing and bothering him. I prefer the pink swat over the clear because it is easier to see when it has rubbed off and I need to reapply. I gave it four stars instead of five because it does tend to melt off in the heat, so I have to reapply it daily if not more often. Overall great product, and it smells good!

Never fails
I have used this stuff for years on my horse, who refuses to wear fly masks. I just put a little under his eyes and the bugs stay off his face for days!

Good stuff
I've used Swat for many, many years. Flies are a real and persistent problem here in the Summer and Fall and Swat really does help to keep them off of wounds. I keep a jar in the barn and one in the horse trailer. I prefer the original pink, but some of my friends like the clear. They work equally well.

Fly Season Must-have!
I've been using it for years & it really does help protect my horses sensitive areas- sheath, belly, ears, throat latch. Get the pink because then you can see where you applied it & when it wears off!

Still the best
I've been using this for years, I've tried other products and nothing come close. Perfect for the sensitive skin of my gray TBx. I put it along his sheath and inside hind legs. Never had a reaction and it lasts all day keeping the worst of the bugs away.

Pink is easy to see
Having tried the clear before, the pink gel is easier because you can see where you applied it. Seems gentle enough, and although it's hard to tell if it actually works for repelling bugs, I think it's working.

Great for bites!
My horse had a bunch of bites on his belly that were obviously itchy. This seemed to help! Despite the fact that it's pink, it didn't look pink on my black horse.

good product
This is a classic. Works great - can't be beat. However, if I realized it now came in clear instead of the traditional hot pink, I would have purchased the clear.

Don't Leave for the Barn without it!
I've used SWAT for over 10 years, and just can't say enough good things about this product! I was first introduced to it at the barn I used to board at when I had problems with small, biting flies that liked to get into my horse's ears and bite! I always felt so bad for him, because I constantly kept cleaning the bugs out of his ears, and he always had bite spots that were bleeding. I've always had to wear fly masks on him without ears, because he refuses to keep one on that has ears. SWAT works wonders when applied lightly inside the ears. It definitely keeps the biting bugs at bay! I also use it on my horse's belly, as small flies like to gather right in the middle of his belly and bite - the SWAT works there as well! I definitely buy the Clear formula, because I bought the Original once when the store was out of Clear--Never. Ever. Again! Although, I'll admit that the pink is easy to see, it's just a little girly looking for geldings...and all of my guys are...well guys! Highly recommend this product - whichever color works best for you, both keep flies away!

This summer my filly cut open her leg really bad. She pretty much cut off her whole bicep muscle! She had quite a few stitches that kept pulling apart so it kept staying gooey(in August remember!) so he flies were just giving her a terrible time. The vet didn't want me putting ANYTHING on top of the stitches/open mess so that made fly spray not so much of an option. I got this during one of those emergency run-to-the-feed-store-as-fast-as-you-can days and it has really saved me so much pain! It was easy to apply however I do recommend using gloves!
I also LOVE the smell! It smells like pink lemonade, I want to eat it!
only problem is I had to put it on twice a day because it would dissolve or get rubbed off or something in the heat, anyway I had to put it on more than I wanted to but I really didn't mind that much.

Does it's job
Swat is helpful in my barn when used on the horse's skin that is threatening to break open due to fly bites. We battle summer scratches due to fly bites and Swat is the best arsenal for treating and preventing the fly bite scratches.

My tack room won't go without it!
This stuff really does work! It helps keep flies away from wounds as well as washes off nicely with no greasy residue, my gelding had a cut on his hip and I have no doubt that without this to protect the cut, it would have never healed because of the flies biting it, a must have for every tack trunk.

Expensive, but well worth it!
A few years ago, my mare caught her side on an open stall latch, and ripped a hole in her side that I could (and did!) fit my fist into. We stitched it up, but she ripped the stitches out, leaving a lovely, gaping hole just behind her shoulder. Naturally, this was at the peak of fly season, and the wound was impossible to cover. My vet recommended Swat to keep the flies out of it, and I'm so glad I listened! It's expensive, especially for such a little container, but it works like a charm. I especially like the fact that it's not greasy, nor does it stink! The BRIGHT pink coloring is a bit disconcerting at first, but it does mean that it's easy to see when it needs to be reapplied... I also have a pot of the clear formula, for the times when I care about people seeing pink spots on my chestnut!
