Deerfly Patches
The most effective form of “deerfly repellent”. Deerfly Patches are an unconventional approach to controlling the deerfly, sometimes called sweatflies, greenheads, yellowheads, stouts, even (by mistake), blackflies or gnats. The Deerfly is a relative of the horsefly. There are 63 known varieties of the species Chyrsops found in the United States. They are found from May through September and as any gardener, fisherman, or camper can tell you, the Deerfly is the most persistent and painful biting fly around. Deerfly Patches are 2" by 6" flesh-colored patches which attach to the back of the cap or hat. Attacking deerflies land on the patch. When they do, they stay. The deerflies are no longer a nuisance flying around your head or biting. |

Deer Flies Are Hard To Kill and Repel
Deerflies are abundant in marshy and wooded areas. They lie in wait in the shade of bushes, trees, and other plants waiting for a victim to pass by. They are attracted to moving dark silhouettes, carbon dioxide, and odors. They usually buzz around your head in circles, lighting momentarily several times before biting. They are strong fliers and will pursue their victim until they get what they want--BLOOD. They are not repelled easily with conventional repellents |

Deerfly Patches have been field tested by Ohio State University, The North American Hunting Club, and the Michigan Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. All were impressed by them and recommend them. People like them because they have absolutely no smell, no chemicals, nothing greasy to rub or spray on your skin.
