How to choose the right insect protection for your horse?
Horses are often the target of annoying insects such as flies, midges, ticks and mosquitoes. These pests are not only annoying, but can cause serious health problems and discomfort for the animals. Therefore, protecting horses from insects is essential, especially during the warmer months when their activity is at its peak.
There are different methods of protection on the market, from chemical sprays to repellent collars, but not all are equally effective and safe. In this blog, we will explain why BubbleBite Horse Protection Spray is the natural and best choice compared to chemical alternatives.
Why is insect protection necessary for horses?
Insects not only cause discomfort, but are also vectors of diseases that can pose a serious threat to the health of horses:
🔹 Flies and obadi - They cause painful bites, skin irritation and can transmit infections.
🔹 Ticks - Carriers of diseases such as Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and piroplasmosis.
🔹 Mosquitoes - Carriers of deadly diseases such as West Nile virus and equine encephalitis.
Without adequate protection, horses are exposed to constant itching, stress and the risk of more serious health complications.
Spray, chemical repellents or collars - which is the best choice?
There are several insect protection methods on the market, but not all of them are safe and suitable for long-term use.
1. Sprays - Natural and effective protection
✔ Immediate action - The spray works immediately after application and creates a protective layer on the hair.
✔ Free from harmful chemicals - Natural sprays are free from pesticides and dangerous chemicals.

❌ Content of toxic substances - Most chemical repellents contain DEET, which can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation.
❌ Possible side effects - Hypersensitivity reactions, respiratory problems and skin changes are common.
❌ Prolonged exposure to chemicals - Regular use of chemical repellents can adversely affect the health of horses and people who come into contact with them.
❌ Danger if ingested - If a horse spills a chemical from its body, poisoning can occur.
3. Insect collars - A long-lasting but questionable solution
❌ Synthetic insecticide content - Some collars contain strong pesticides that can be dangerous if used for a long time.
❌ Possibility of allergic reactions - Skin irritation and hair loss around the neck.
