Yesterday Lou, a friend of mine from the US Forest Service who also spends his summers here in Minnesota, gave me a product called DEERFLY PATCHES to try out on my next bike outing. This patch has an adhesive backing that attaches to the hat then you peel off a tape exposing a sticky surface, much like the old fashioned fly strips.

This morning I attached a patch onto my hat and went for a ride through the Game Farm. As expected, the deer flys were buzzing all around me and after the first mile I checked the patch and found 6 already stuck

I continued on my ride constantly being harassed by the blood sucking little :pk:

By the time I got home, there was 31 stuck and going nowhere :y:

This patch doesn't repel the pests nor does it attract them it just catches the ones that get too close. I still swatted several that landed on exposed skin but there's a lot of satisfaction to see the ones stuck on the back of my hat. Revenge has a sweet side :GB:

See the photo and count em.
