The very first bottles of Goodbye Sandfly were given away to guests at our outdoor wedding in 1999.

John (Kiwi) and I (Becky, American) met as raft guides working in Nepal in 1996. We now have two children: Isaac (2) and Helena (5) who are our laughs, our growth, and our test subjects for Goodbye Sandfly.

We moved to Karamea in 2006, and for the first time, we were actually living in sandfly country. We have sandflies in our house if the wrong windows are left open. Goodbye Sandfly started getting daily use, and our understanding of the product and the environment improved. We like the creativity of running our own business. And being able to offer as much quality as possible. We reflect that in the product, and also in the information we provide, and the interaction that is encouraged.
