Frequent application of small amounts of Goodbye Sandfly provides the best protection from sandflies and mosquitoes.

It can take up to 60 seconds for the heat of your skin to begin evaporating the oils to create a zone that sandflies do not like. Near the end of essential oil evaporation, sandflies may again begin to land on your skin, but will not bite. This is your signal to reapply. Depending upon the severity of the sandflies and a variety of weather and activity factors this may be as often as every 20 minutes, but most often every hour or two. If you are staying mostly covered (preferably in light clothing), and using Goodbye Sandfly solely for forearms, hands and face, our 40mls bottle, which is pocket-sized and leakproof, will easily last a week of use.

Goodbye Sandfly also has soothing and antibacterial actions which help the skin heal bites without itching or blemishes. Apply as soon after a bite as possible and re-apply as needed to soothe itching. See our bites page for more natural remedies ideas.
