Mosquitoes are really annoying, but at least you can douse yourself in repellent (or buy a Mosquito Magnet) to keep them away. Don't you wish there was something to deal with those stupid deerflies? You know the ones I'm talking about.... they buzz loudly around your head like a drunken chihuahua with wings. How's a person supposed to mow the lawn, go fishing or just enjoy a cool drink on the deck?
Well, it appears that trying to repel them was not the right way to handle those pests at all. Attracting them to a spot on the top of your head and causing them to stay there is the answer! I know it sounds crazy, but the folks at the Detex company in LeRoy, Michigan have figured it out!
Apparently, deerflies like to land on your head so they can "scope out the surroundings". By placing one of their TRED-NOT Deerfly patches on your cap, the insects are actually attracted to the flesh colored sticky landing pads and are unable to leave! So instead of hearing that incessant bzzzzz, bzzzzz, bzzzzz, bzzzzz, bzzzzz, you simply hear bzz.... And then silence, bzz.... And then silence. Ok. It's probably not a perfect solution, but for $2.69 for a pack of four, they're probably worth a try!
