Insect repellant
Myself and my partner are shortly to begin a number of hikes around fiordland and the west coast. What insect repellant would people recommend to best ward off the sandflies? Any other tips appreciated

I found Insect repellent by Bushman (Australia) works fine, no grease, no unpleaseant smell. If you don’t mind repelling human as well, Aroguard is another brand you can go for.
