Wonder if you can Live with Sandflies?

You can live with sandflies (AND mosquitoes), comfortably. You don’t even HAVE to have our amazing natural repellent, but it helps. We have collected years of information and experience with NZ sandflies. We share all that we know with you, so that you can have an amazing time outdoors.

What is Goodbye Sandfly?

We are a proudly and uniquely New Zealand product. Formulated over a season of guiding canoes on the Dart River outside of Glenorchy in 1999, our guests helped us create a bug repellent that is effective and smells great. Goodbye Sandfly has been NZ’s #1 best selling natural repellent since 2010.  *Aztec data through March 2013

Goodbye Sandfly has evolved into a resource for natural living, or “natural intelligence.”

Natural Living

Goodbye Sandfly publishes It’s Not about the Bugs, a bi-weekly digital magazine that believes the outdoors is not only fun, but healing and wise.  Each issue is sunrise fuel for you. Join us by adding your name on the sidebar to the right.

Want to know more about?

  • Goodbye Sandfly product This is a product that we trust because we’ve lived with our two small children in real sandfly country. When you use a bug repellent every day, it HAS to be natural & it HAS to work.
  • The biggest question of all- Does it Work & HOW does it Work?

  • Sandfly Map Three years of input are captured here for you to refer to for your trip in New Zealand. We’d love for you to make an entry to make the map even more useful for those who follow you.
