Okarito Sandfly Repellent contains just two natural ingredients: citronella oil and sweet almond oil. That’s it.
Sandflies hate it,
you’ll love it.
Our sandfly repellent is a natural, effective and affordable repellent of New Zealand sandflies and other biting insects. It is DEET-free, non-toxic and safe for use on children.
Our Story
Okarito Sandfly Repellent was born in Okarito, South Westland, New Zealand for use in our kayaking business. Initially we provided the repellent to customers to use while paddling on Okarito Lagoon. Many people came back praising it’s effectiveness, and repeated requests led us to try bottling and selling our repellent. That was about 15 years ago. We now sell to numerous retailers throughout New Zealand, and at Department of Conservation Visitor Centres nationwide.
“We dropped in yesterday and bought three of your repellents. Well I’m impressed – my daughter had it on yesterday and walked into a swarm of sandflies and they parted like the red sea! Well done and good luck, I hope you make your fortune selling this.”
