View topic - deer flies, favorite solutions?

We've been using ' OFF Family Care ' for a couple of years when we're in the yard gardening , splitting/stacking wood , cutting grass on the riding mower or just taking a stroll down to the dock
starting in august when the storms of blackflies/skeeters are all gone

It seems to work well even if just sprayed on our clothes instead of bare skin , it won't eat through
plastic like Deet and we're not as chemical conscious as when we load up on Deet in the spring season
against blackflies and skeeters
