Fly Away Shavings Natural Fly Repellent

A cleaner, drier stall starts with the bedding under your horse. These all-natural pine shavings soak up moisture fast, so wet spots don't sit on the floor and turn into odor. The peppermint and lavender infusion gives the stall a fresh scent, and it adds natural fly-repellent support when the bugs start to show up.

Low dust means less hanging in the air when you fork out a stall or top up the bed. The shavings are kiln-dried, which gives you a consistent bed that stays soft underfoot. The same bedding works in stalls, barns, livestock pens and other enclosures, so one purchase covers more than one job on the place.

What it's for

Bedding does more than make a stall look finished. It's the surface your horse stands and lies on for hours, and urine and moisture collect there unless you deal with them. Absorbent pine shavings pull moisture down into the bed, so the top layer stays drier longer. That's what keeps the ammonia smell from building up between cleanings.

Pine shavings are a practical choice for horse stalls because they are easy to pile, easy to fork out and easy to replace. In the cold months a dry, deep bed matters most, since a stall that stays shut up can get damp and stuffy. In warm weather, a fresh bed in a barn that gets fly pressure gives you a head start on the bugs.

This bedding suits a backyard horse with one stall, a working barn with several stalls, or a few goats and sheep in a pen that needs a dry floor. If you're refreshing a stall before a show or a trailer trip, the fresh scent makes the space feel clean the moment you walk in.

How to use it

Shavings work best with a steady routine:

1. Start with a deep, even layer across the floor, enough to cushion it and soak up the first wet spots.
2. Pick out manure and wet bedding every day so the dry shavings stay on top.
3. Pull the bedding and add fresh shavings on a set schedule, and wash out the floor when you do.
4. Store unopened bales in a dry spot off the ground so they stay dry and fresh-smelling.

Good to know

• Pair the shavings with a stall fork and a muck tub, so daily pickup takes minutes instead of an hour.
• Keep a second bale in the barn for a sudden spring cleanout or a stall that needs extra bedding.
• Check corners and doorways for wet spots, since urine collects where animals stand the longest.
