How do I get rid of black flies?

What You Can Do

These insects have proven to be such a nuisance in summer months that special hiking gear has been developed to combat them. Research also shows that black flies are more attracted to dark colors than to light colors; hikers who dress accordingly are less likely to be bothered. In order to avoid being bothered by black flies, hikers often tightly tuck in their shirts and pants.

Understanding Black Flies

Habitat

These insects breed in flowing water, like streams, and rivers. Adults seek moist environments. Black flies are common in humid, wooded regions in summer months and can be found throughout semitropical regions year round.

Black flies are most active around sunset during June and July and act as severe nuisances to backpackers, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Black flies are not active at night.
