Getting rid of sandflies can be easier than you think with some simple items you probably have lying around your house.

The added benefit is this treatment is easy to apply and natural. This repellent also works on no-see-ums and midges.

Other tips to stop sandflies biting include:
Wearing long sleeves and clothes that protect areas such as wrists and ankles
Staying indoors around peak times such as sunrise and sunset
Avoiding coastal areas particularly where there is mangrove vegetation

Although sand fly bites are annoying they are very unlikely to spread disease like can happen with mosquito bites.
