Insect repellent horse in test 2023

CHEVALIS insect repellent for horses provides effective protection against a wide range of insects and parasites. With its natural formula of essential oils and geraniol, it is a gentle solution for horses. The protection is long-lasting and easy to apply. While the product offers some benefits, there are also aspects that stood out negatively during the test.

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The first impression of the product is positive. It is well protected in a sturdy cardboard box that is easy to open. The 500 ml plastic bottle looks sturdy and offers sufficient content. The German-language instructions for use on the bottle make it easy to use.
At the time of testing, there was no official product packaging, so this could not be evaluated.

Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

The insect screen from CHEVALIS has an attractive appearance and is very well made. It appears stable and rigid, which conveys a high level of quality. Due to the biocide labeling, it is important to read the application instructions carefully before use.

Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the insect spray produces a very fine spray mist that is very easy to spread on the horse. The spray also has a pleasant smell and the effect lasts for a long time. In our test, there were no annoying insects to be found in the sprayed areas even after more than two hours.
It is easy to use, but the instructions for use state that special protection is required, e.g. gloves, face mask and goggles.
The natural ingredients are positively emphasized, although this is a biocidal product.
However, the ingredients are contained in such low concentrations that there is normally no danger to the horse. Due to the official approval as a biocide, it can be assumed that the product and its active ingredients pose no danger to the environment when used properly.
To summarize, it can be said that the insect repellent for horses from CHEVALIS left a very good impression.

Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. One common criticism is that the price is considered too high compared to similar products and that some customers express concerns about the application and ingredients.

Many customerslike the fact that the insect spray provides an effective defense against flies, even in hot weather and with many insects. The fragrance is predominantly perceived as pleasant and the application of the spray is described as easy.

Prices of up to €25.95/500 ml are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €16.90/500 ml . The insect repellent from CHEVALIS is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of 19.95 €/500 ml. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
