They are a disposable 2 inch x 6 inch adhesive patch that is placed on the back of the hat or cap and trap the deerflies as they buzz around your head. Virtually every deerfly will land on the patch because they target it as a good biting place. Deerflies, sometimes called Marsh Flies, Sheep Flies, May flies, Sand Flies, or Greenheads bite hard. Conventional repellents do not work well on them. Used by gardeners, fishermen, hikers, campers, runners, bikers, canoeists, horseback riders, anyone outside. Field tested and recommended by Ohio State University, and the Michigan Department of Fish and Wildlife. One patch will last all day on your cap. Shelf life in the package, several years. Made in the USA Review: Great for deep woods! - June 2016 - spent six hour in beaver bogs doing trail maintenance yesterday. Got about 60 customers in 6 hours. I changed the tape once, as the first one was up to standing room only and I wanted to be sure I got as many as possible. Now get this: I did not wear bug repellent. I wore loose fitting long pants, long sleeve shirt and gloves. Not one single bite until I took my glove off, which leads me to consider using this apparel when I'm in the bug zone. Do only use this on a hat you don't care about. It does leave adhesive residue. Future improvement might be to add writing to the brown side to indicate "this is the hat side". I have mistakenly put the wrong side on the hat in my desparation to escape the deerfly torrent. If you ever decide to get out of the business, let me know and I will buy a 100 packs for future use. My original review in 2015: After 40 years of hiking, I've never found a product so convenient and easy to use. I spent several days last year in the north maine woods, off-grid, outside a good 18 hours a day. After six hours of hiking - bogs, logging roads and mountain peak, I had roughly 30-35 (who's counting?) flies, with a few other things mixed in. Not a single bite, or even a light on my skin. Still had bug juice on for the mosquitoes. Really didn't need to cover up with long sleeves and pants. Very enjoyable. When I peeled it off at day's end, it was disgusting. Like a subway car at rush hour. Threw it in the fire, gonzo! I used one a day. Didn't try it in the rain. I stuffed a few in the pack - they don't leak or need special handling. The cost is minimal and the effectiveness is great. The satisfaction of hearing those blood-sucker buzzing above my hat was rewarding. I could actually enjoy the out doors, rather than spending the day swatting. Couple of tips. Be careful when peeling off the strips. One side is sticker than the other. The less sticky side goes on your hat. I got confused and did it backwards - It will leave adhesive on your hat forever. Duh! Second, don't drop your hat topside on the ground. It picks up everything, dirt, pine needles, leaves, etc. rendering it useless. I'm ordering more for this year's off-grid trip. Enjoy! Review: Back to buy more this year - I live on a few acres and spend a lot of time outside maintaining/enjoying various orchards, ponds, gardens, etc. and deer-flies used to drive me crazy. I hated to use those repellent sprays, because I know that if I get just a touch of that stuff in one of my ornamental ponds, it could kill some of my fish. (Besides, that stuff doesn't seem to repel deer-flies, anyway!) These patches have made all the difference - I think that, over time, they're actually helping me to reduce the deer-fly population in my area. In any case, I haven't been bitten once since I started using them, and it's so nice to be able to walk around outdoors without having to spend the whole time waving my arms over my head. I don't know where the other reviewers got the instructions to stick these patches onto a blue hat - I stick mine on my pink canvas floppy hat, and they work just fine (it's kind of like a fishing hat, I guess. You really shouldn't wear baseball caps in hot weather - they hold heat against your head and increase the risk of sun-stroke. A hat that leaves a bit of air-space above your skull is best for hot sun.) I change the patches out every three, four days or so; they're still pretty sticky when I do, but they're so full of deer flies (and the occasional housefly) that there isn't much space for new flies to land and go to their doom. Even though I hate how they pester me, I still feel bad for the little creeps. It must be a horrible way to die. They land on their feet and get stuck standing there - then as they struggle to get free, they only get stuck in deeper, until their heads get stuck and they expire. I tried crushing a few of them to put them out of their misery, but my finger got stuck, so I gave that up. The creepiest part is when you see six little legs standing upright on the glue... but no fly! Somewhere out there, legless deer flies are trying in vain to bite me - I'm not sure whether I feel sorry for them or not... o_0 I was concerned that the adhesive on the side you stick to the hat would be as sticky and permanent as the side that traps flies, but it isn't - it's a completely different kind of adhesive and peels right off without leaving any residue. So I can still wear my cool floppy pink canvas hat out in public, too! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038RO1YI | | Best Sellers Rank | #98,714 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #88 in Wearable Insect & Pest Repellents #4,932 in First Aid Supplies | | Brand | TredNot | | Brand Name | TredNot | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 980 Reviews | | Item Form | Patch | | Manufacturer | TredNot | | Manufacturer Part Number | DFP 12 PK | | Model Number | DFP 12 PK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Size | 12 Count (Pack of 1) | | Target Species | Fly | | UPC | 604013000158 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TredNot - **Item Form:** Patch - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Scent:** Unscented - **Unit Count:** 12 Count ## Images ![12 / Pk Deerfly Patches/TredNot Deer Fly Patch Odorless Repellent - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41LdXdfsv+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work for horseflies while you’re in a pool (obviously won’t get hat wet)?** A: I have not tested Deerfly Patches wile in a pool. Deerflies and horseflies act differently. Deerfly Patches work best when you are moving. **Q: Does this work on green heads and beach flys?** A: Deerflies are tabanids. Greenheads and so called beach flies are too. Deerflies are nicknamed many things.The patches will work if the particular fly buzzes around your head, following you. True Deerflies (many species) are attracted to motion and circle around your head and target the patch as a good feeding place. They land in the patch and stay. If your flies tend to bite around the legs, they probably won't work. The location of the patch (on your cap) has a lot to do with how well they work.Dale **Q: Will this work for black flies?** A: The Deerfly Patches were tested on Black Flies / Gnats years ago and while the Patches would catch many I chose not to make a claim that they "effectively control black flies". But many customers are using them for black flies with success and satisfaction. I have many pictures from customers of patches loaded with black flies. **Q: what are the ingredients?** A: Ingredients: paper A duct tape-type tape glue formulation to trap the deerflies no attractants or pesticides or other chemicals ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for deep woods! *by B***I on June 15, 2012* June 2016 - spent six hour in beaver bogs doing trail maintenance yesterday.

The areas where I have been hiking lately (very wet and swampy) have been producing a ridiculous amount of deer flies that seem to really like something about me. I cannot tell what it is however I was tired of trying to figure it out. The bug spray worked well enough to keep me from getting bitten, but the annoyance factor of having them swarm around my eyes and ears was horrible. I finally stuck one of these on an old hat I had and went for a 7-mile hike yesterday in fairly dense Michigan woods after a 2-day rain. From the first 10 minutes, I could already tell this product was working. While I could not keep the flies from hitting my face, I noted instantly they did not make a second rotation. While I still used bug spray on my exposed skin, the deer flies were absolutely eliminated. They were no longer a nuisance flying around my face and head. I have included a photo with this review. This is the photo after the first 3.4 miles. I changed it out after and added a new strip however as I was mostly in meadows it was very effective but had significantly fewer flies due to the area. Anyway... I would highly recommend this product. One thing I thought would be an issue given the location of the strip was a buzzing sound from the strip itself on my head as the flies were stuck on it, but this was not an issue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/15360101-12-pk-deerfly-patches-trednot-deer-fly-patch-odorless-repellent](https://www.desertcart.it/products/15360101-12-pk-deerfly-patches-trednot-deer-fly-patch-odorless-repellent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
