This insect repellent works for ankle biter flies


Repel Sportsman Max insect repellent will keep those pesky ankle biter flies off your bare feet and legs for nearly eight hours!
It has 40 per cent DEET which is a key but so is the fact that it is a cream, not a spray.
The cream does not evaporate as quickly and that's critical when you are fishing in a boat on a hot, sunny day.
Ankle biters, aka stable flies, are the worst pest for us here at Bow Narrows Camp. They hang out in the boats and love to "nibble" on your bare legs and feet, making wearing shorts and sandals a misery.
Thanks for this discovery goes to George Muckenfuss and Alice Baughman (my niece) from Ridgeville, SC.
We knew that insect sprays had to be at least 30 per cent DEET to have an effect on the ankle biters but it also had to be applied hourly to be effective. This Repel cream lasts just about the whole day!
