"The Tred-Not DeerFly Patch is simple, effective and clean. No messy oils or lotions."
The DeerFly Patch was developed following years of study into the flying and attack habits of Deer Flies. It was discovered that Deer Flies typically buzz around your head in circles, lighting momentarily several times before biting. They attack moving objects from behind and high.
Seeking a non-chemical solution, different types and colours of strips were tested. It was determined that skin coloured strips were most effective and that the back of a hat was the best location. Lengthy testing was conducted to develop an adhesive that would immobilize the flies and be effective in varying weather conditions.
The end result is 2" by 6" flesh-coloured patches which attach to the back of the cap or hat. Attacking deerflies land on the patch believing it is a "good feeding place". When they do, they are stuck. The Deer Flies are no longer a nuisance flying around your head or biting.
There are no messy lotions to rub on your skin, There are no toxic substance or odours. DeerFly Patches were developed and are manufactured in the United States.
"Simply peel and stick on your hat."
DeerFly Patches are simple to use. Simply peel the WHITE backing paper and press the Patch on the back of the hat making sure the edges are pressed down. Then remove the BROWN release paper to expose the special adhesive which traps deer flies but does not stick to skin.
A two pack of patches will typically last one week. When the patch is full, pull the strip off the hat and dispose in the appropriate garbage container. Since deer flies are attracted to skin colour, it is best to always wear a shirt so that they are encouraged to light on the patch.
"DeerFly Patches have been extensively field tested by governments and hunting clubs. It stops them from biting."
DeerFly patches have been extensively field tested by Ohio State University, the North American Hunting Club and the Michigan Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. All three organizations reported favourably on the ability of the Patch to stop deer flies from biting.
