Cayenne as a repellant?

[Iride]

Can cayenne be used as a bug repellant?

Rap last or cayenne hot sauce. Works a treat.

For flies? My daughter managed to repel everyone out of one side of the training center we were stabled at with an over enthusiastic spraying of Rap Last one day, I’m sure the flies did too, but only until the air cleared a bit.

Any risk of the cayenne ingredient irritating the horse’s skin if any penetrates? (Meaning, on the horse I’d be putting the cayenne on his sheet). Weird questions I know

I have zero idea if it repels bugs but I’ve coated one of my horses fly sheets with Rap Last. No one died and the sheet ripper quit messing up his buddies clothes.
