How can I stop thunderflies landing on me??? Help I am going insane!?

Question

They are making me so itchy today! How can I stop them????

Answer 1

Don't wear yellow, white or green clothes, thunderbugs love these colours.

Answer 2

Get some citronella oil BP (for pharaceutical use) from the chemist and rub it on your skin.  Follow directions on the bottle if it says it needs diluting, but I use it neat on pulse points as I would perfume, and put a dot on my scalp as well.

It has a lemony smell which I quite like, but some may not.  But it's much cheaper than proprietary brands of insect repellant.

Answer 3

i have no idea what thunderflies are but have you tried bug spray?
