HANDS TIPON

EASY APPLICATION

I transfer my fly repellent from the original bottle to a pressurized garden sprayer. Not only is the sprayer quieter for my nervous young horse, but it provides more even coverage. Just make sure the sprayer is clean with no residues of herbicide or other chemicals—and be sure to avoid the eyes.— Sara Wendless,
