Description
Farnam Nature's Defense is the natural alternative in the fly aisle: a water-based repellent built on citronella and other botanicals rather than synthetic actives. It works against five types of flies — horn, stable, house, horse and deer — plus mosquitoes and gnats. There are no preservatives, additives or artificial colors in the formula, and it is alcohol free, so it will not burn sensitive skin. Because it is neither oily nor greasy, it will not collect dust and dirt on a coat you have just finished grooming. The scent is a fresh herbal blend rather than a chemical one, which is a large part of why owners reach for it.
