10. Stiefel Insect repellent RP1 gel for horses
Stiefel RP1 Insect Repellent Gel is a highly effective insect repellent with active tick and insect protection for your horse.
RP1 Insect Repellent Gel is particularly suitable for sensitive areas and spray-sensitive horses, as the gel is applied to the horse using the sponge provided. The active ingredient Saltidin (Icaridin®) is virtually odourless for us humans and does not bother humans or horses with an unpleasant odour. Insects, on the other hand, perceive odours and are deterred by the repellent. When RP1 is applied to the coat, the volatile properties of the active ingredient create a thin, protective cloud of odour that can last for several hours. In addition, the active ingredient Icaridin® is very well tolerated by the skin and is therefore also suitable for riders. When using repellents, it is important to apply them correctly and over a large area: The combination of spray and gel achieves maximum effect with minimum consumption. The spray is used for the large areas, the gel for targeted application under the belly and for the sensitive areas on the head. Stiefel RP1 has already been recognised several times as the test winner and has been awarded a seal of approval.
Application:
Apply Stiefel RP1 Insect Repellent Gel sparingly to the desired areas of the body as required. Avoid sensitive areas of the body (eyes, ears, nostrils and mucous membranes). The protective effect is immediate. Insect repellent gel with Icaridin® (Saltidin).

Use biocides safely. Always read the labelling and product information before use.
