FAQ

What is citriodiol?

Citriodiol is a natural insect repellent derived from the Eucalyptus citriodora tree. It is the only natural ingredient approved by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as an effective insect repellent, making it a trusted natural alternative to synthetic repellents like DEET.

Is it suitable for horses with sweet itch?

Yes — Citromax is effective against midges (Culicoides), which are the primary cause of sweet itch. It is a suitable natural option for horses prone to sweet itch or midge sensitivity.

How does it compare to DEET-based repellents?

Citriodiol is a natural alternative to DEET that has been independently proven effective. For horses in very high-insect-pressure environments, DEET-based products like Flygard Extra Strength may provide stronger protection. Citromax is ideal for owners who prefer a natural formula.

How often should I apply it?

Reapply as needed throughout the day, particularly after sweating, rain, or washing. Follow the label instructions for specific guidance.
