Although flies and mosquitoes are different insects they are actually distant relative mosquitoes, along with midges, sand flies and ticks are bloodsuckers. They seek you out to feed on your blood, and generally are crepuscular, coming out at dusk.

Flies are a different animal. They seek you out for moisture which they find in your eyes, nose and mouth. That’s why they’re so annoying.

Scientists have established that these insects have different sensory apparatus to support their survival. Consequently they respond to different odours.

That is why Ozzie Therapeutic Products makes two natural, synthetic chemical and toxin free products specifically designed to repel these little critters based on their sensors.
