Does this work to repel flies? That is our most pesky outdoor bug in Southern California

I don't know - we aren't troubled by flies here, only mosquitoes. Also, I used this in the recipe for Wellness Mama's Bug Bar so cannot answer how it would work undiluted.

I hike daily in the woods in Door County, WI and encounter insects of all sorts. When wearing this, the odor is so strong, nothing seems to bother landing on me. When I begin to notice things buzzing around me I reapply and it seems to work fine.

I have never used it for bugs or garden pests but a friend of mine has a terrible fly problem...she puts this on all her window sills and it coats the flies wings and they die. So it MAY work on grasshoppers.

No idea, we applied it outside. It was very effective for Mosquitos and ticks.

I used it last year (the one that hooks to the hose) to get rid of sand burrs. It did! It killed them and left the grass. We have since moved, and I am now using it on poison ivy & poison oak. So far it is doing the job. I also used this brand for ticks (the bug version that hooks to the hose), and it worked wonders! I get this brand for under $8 at our local W*****t and trust them to do the job.

I just followed the directions and it worked fairly well. That is, I did see a difference in the flies. I used it in a horse barn that has open areas to the outside. The spray was done inside, but the outside area was very close to the sprayed areas. It surely is worth a try if you are trying to control pests.

Jo, Not likely to deter hawks based on my experience. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

i do not no. i know they work on the ones we had here . we still had to use bug stuff around the outside of the house , due to nasty neighbors moving and leaving behind such a mess . you can sure try them. i no they work wonders on mice , and so far we have not seen any bugs either .

Myra, It will work outside, but it will be less effective if there is a breeze. Also, you may want to think about the constant exposure of insecticide to your dogs. We have dogs also, so we use fly traps we get at Home Depot outside. They work pretty well and they're safer for the dogs.

No. it will kill a small fly but the big ones ya gotta get close to. It's a novelty fly killer that's great for guys who like to hunt flys in the off season

I'm unsure. We were camping at a state park in Ohio over Labor Day. I have never seen so many mosquitos. I didn't have any bites. You can smell the lemongrass which supposed to repel no-see-ums. I would give it a try. Low investment.

I have heard it catch bugs in the daytime, and we do not have any attractant in ours. We forgot to put in there, and never have... It works well.

Not too sure. It works for most insects. I reapply when I see a few bugs starting to come back in the house.

I used this last summer in NC to try and kill Yellow Fly's. I painted a couple of beach balls black and then put tanglefoot all over the ball. It did trap a mess of them.

Yes. We use it to repel gnats and mosquitoes. Unless we're headed into tick territory it's all we use.

Yes. Very well! I am in Illinois and we had last year and now again this a bug referred to as a buffalo gnat that are extremely resistant to most other bug sprays. This even keeps them away. Pleasant smell an non-sticky feeling.

No it doesn't help at all with flys but does an amazing job with Mosquitos.

this thing didn't scare off any flying insects from building high rises in our yard, right next to it..waste of money, 'fraid to say..we finally contacted local mosquito yard control and they sprayed and we found dead wasps, yellow jackets, spiders everywhere - it was awesome! we got our yard back!! good luck to you
