MetsäDeo, Moose Fly Repellent

MetsäDeo, Moose Fly Repellent

MetsäDeo is a new Finnish outdoor product developed for repelling moose flies.
MetsäDeo is manufactured in Lempäälä, Finland.
MetsäDeo has been tested with outdoor enthusiasts in the fall of 2021, and the Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE) has conducted efficacy studies on the product.
The product does not meet the definition of a repellent set by TUKES, as it is sprayed onto clothing. Therefore, it cannot be marketed as 'repellent'. The product also does not contain environmentally harmful biocides and does not harm insects.

Comments from testers:

- The product's efficacy is excellent!
- I have never seen a moose fly drop off immediately upon landing
- Works exceptionally well!
- I can enjoy the forest again!
- An incredible product!
- Very economical!
- The effect lasts a really long time!

Test locations ranged from the Oulu area to southern Finland.
The test group consisted of 17 people, 9 men, 7 women, and 1 child (6 years old), with over 100 test sessions and an average time spent outdoors of 2.5 hours. Tests were conducted in pairs, with one test subject treated with the spray and the other not.
At the end of the test, untreated individuals had 5-80 moose flies on their clothes/hair, while those using the spray had 0-2 flies. The most significant difference in the test was 0 flies on the person who received the spray and 76 flies on the untreatmented individual.

Instructions for Use: MetsäDeo should be sprayed onto outdoor clothing from about 20 cm away: 5 sprays on the hat, 3 sprays on the collar of the jacket, and 3 sprays on the cuffs. Do not spray on skin. Avoid contact with broken skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Avoid unnecessary skin contact. Keep out of reach of children.
