Horse flies

I hate the little buggers with venom.My first line of defence against
airborne nibblers has always been citronella based but herself reckons
Deet to be the ticket ( experience of N American Mozzies). I have tried the
wipes today but I dont have the confidence to let any of the horde settle in
case they like the taste and decide on me for afters. I did only have a few
to brush off but then the wind was up so who knows- any opinions?
I tried the Avon 'SKIN SO SOFT' lotion they seem to think its like gravy
maybe I should have tried the bath oil?

DEET worked for me in the Northern Territory in Oz. Works just fine for
British flies too . . .

Ex-Military stuff works very very well. £1 per tube at your local Army& Navy
or on Ebay.
