Anyone who enjoys the outdoors in Canada and the northernmost U.S. states knows that the real enemy of the wilderness wanderer is the malevolent black fly. Most prominent beginning in about the middle of May, and continuing to make the outdoors a miserable place to be well into June, or even July. The repelling action of essential oils, combined with the moisturizing and protective properties of vegetable oils, our 100% natural pomade (NO DEET) will protect you from those annoying Black Flies and their bites! They may swarm but they won't land! Learn more about our insect repellents >>


Directions

Apply the pomade in a circular motion on the uncovered areas of the skin. Repeat as necessary.

Keep out of eyes. Avoid exposure to the sun while using this pomade as it does not contain sunscreen.

Store in a cool and dry place, away from light.

I love that it’s Maine made.
The ingredients are deet free!
The scent is nice and the black flies avoid me, once it’s applied.

Black Fly Repellant

It smells really good. It didn't irritate my skin and I really like that the applicator is paper not plastic, and it's not a spray. It does seem to work, although the black flies have dropped off so it may take until next season to give it the ultimate test :)

Deep Woods, No Bies

I was in the deep woods yesterday cutting ATV trail. Applied the balm before going in an no bites at all! Blackflies hovered but not a single bite after 7 hrs of work. Definitely on my “buy again” list.

Works very well to repel blackflies

This is the only product that I have found that is specifically designed to repel blackflies. Since I am allergic to these nasty creatures, this is a welcome find!

Best Product I've used yet!

I am allergic to insect bites, especially the notorious black fly! I've tried every spray, ointment or chemical I could find, so I was leery of yet another product. I still have to cover my arms, legs and head but if I use Wayward Chickadees Black Fly Balm FIRST, they don't swarm my head. They don't even land on the net! Then, in case of the occasional bite, the peppermint essential oil is super for calming the relentless itch. Highly recommend!
