Bye-Bye
BLACKFLY
Since 2001, Bye-Bye BLACK has been produced in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. It is an ALL NATURAL, DEET FREE, NON-TOXIC insect repellant made from vegetable oil, beeswax and five essential oils. Our product was initially developed in an effort to keep from being “ eaten alive” during the blackfly season. Finding an effective combination of ingredients led us to sharing it with friends and neighbors in the Adirondacks. Since bringing it to the retail market our product has been used consistently by outdoor enthusiasts, fisherman, gardeners, daycare facilities, missionaries in other countries and to anyone wanting to REPEL BLACKFLIES or any BITING FLYING INSECTS on themselves, their children and pets too.
Bye-Bye BLACKFLY has developed a huge following in the eastern half of the United States. The reason we have been so successful is because our product works. We believe that we provide a strong and all natural solution to the alternative products containing Deet. Bye-Bye BLACKFLY is applied directly to the skin and has more staying power than a spray. It provides superior protection against BLACKFLIES and other FLYING BITING INSECTS. Our product is produced in small batches to ensure consistency and quality in every twist and tin.
Retailers

Bye-Bye BLACKFLY uses a preservative free soybean oil, filtered white beeswax as our base and five essential oils. Cedarwood oil, Lemongrass oil, Peppermint oil, Clove oil, Citronella oil. The secret is in the batch size and oil quantities. If we divulged that information, then it wouldn’t be a secret.

How Insect Repellants Work?
Repellants work by evaporation. Creating a shield a few inches above the area of application. The presence of the repellant vapor confuses the insects so they can’t locate a target host. In most cases, it usually requires less than 1% of the repellant to form this protective barrier.
PRODUCT REVIEWS:
Stefanie M: Spending two weeks in Hilton Head, SC, and the mosquitoes are BAD. Bye Bye Blackfly is doing the trick! Add a little spray (homemade of course) for our clothes and hair and we are good to go! Love that it’s all natural and locally made.
Andrea DU: From someone who gets bit by EVERY flying biting thing- This. Stuff. Works. After slathering it on, I worked in the woods for several hours without one bite. It was shared with several others and they were bite-free as well. It won’t keep the black flies from annoying you though. I highly recommend it! PSC class of ‘89
Brittany P: Works amazingly!!! Allowed us to actually enjoy the gorgeous outdoors without being attacked!
David B: We’ve used for a number of years when working in the garden or fishing in Black Fly season. Stuff works great, pleasant smell, non-toxic. Easy to apply.
