Wasps and Flies

Outdoor dining is frequently interrupted by a trio of persistent pests: wasps, gnats, and flies. Wasps are often the most intrusive, drawn aggressively to sugary drinks and proteins, where their presence creates a sense of alarm due to their potential to sting. Meanwhile, common houseflies and blowflies are attracted to the scent of food, landing repeatedly on plates and posing a hygiene risk by transferring bacteria. Flies and Gnats, though smaller, often form hovering clouds around the table, particularly in humid or shaded environments, causing constant irritation as they dive toward faces and beverages. Together, these insects can transform a relaxing meal into a frantic effort to guard plates and swat away unwanted guests.



To regain control of the table, many have found that a fine whisk of smoke from ‘Fly Away’ wasp and fly repellent is a remarkably effective and natural deterrent. Most flying insects are highly sensitive to virtually all airborne irritants and use their sense of smell to track food sources; the introduction of smoke masks these "food signals" and creates an environment that mimics a wildfire, triggering an instinctive flight response. This gentle disturbance is often all that is needed to clear the air, allowing guests to enjoy their meal without the constant buzz of uninvited visitors.
