Listerine works too
Black flies are awful things, but my friend keeps a spray bottle of Listerine and sprays it all over himself to keep them away. I've tried it and I'm pretty sure it works too. I'm not too sure why, but I don't seem to get bit by them much anyway.
I agree with Angela about those ticks! I'd take mosquitoes and black flies any day over ticks. I've heard that deer and moose are literally infested with them. I've never hunted one, but I don't think I could eat the meat of a deer that had hundreds of ticks on its hide.
