“This is my 3rd order for the Dragonfly Wingman. I am severely allergic(anaphalaxis) to most insects and the bug deterrent sprays etc. The Dragonfly Wingman is 99% effective in keeping me safe from flying insects. This allolws me to continue to enjoy outdoors. I live in Northern Ontario where the Black Fly season is nasty. Usually I do not wear a ballcap, so I walk with the Dragonfly Wingman in my hand and wave it around. Horseflies do not like that. I have tried to clip the Dragonfly Wingman to my backpack strap, or my shirt collar and it flops over so it is not effective. I have clipped it to a flyswatter and waved that around and it works. I gift these wonderful Dragonflies to young children with allergies and they like them. My Dragonfly Wingman is always clipped to my EPI pen belt. That way I never leave home without it. I do not fear buggy evenings as long as I have my Wingman with me.”

“This device stays attached to my hat really well. I find the deer flies still come around a bit, but they don't land on me with the dragonfly deterrent attached. I also tried attaching it to my dog's harness because the deer files LOVE him! I think it did help to deter how many deer flies approached him and helped to keep them from landing on him. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but I do think it helps.”

“I bought this as joke for my grandkids. It brought much teasing and laughter but it actually is very effective. I’m old enough to have enjoyed Mad Magazine and Don Martin cartoons of goofy guys with flies buzzing about them This brings good memories & smiles and usefulness . You need one”

“I do not know if this works or not : in our garden I seemed to roll in a cloud of horse flys/deer flys. I came in the house, got my Dragon Fly Wingman, clipped it on my hat. When I got back to where I had been working, not one fly came in sight. Now, had the flies moved away in the short time I came in the house or has the Dragonfly Wingman done its job … ? Seriously, this seems to work.”

“The Dragonfly Wingman really works. I find it effective for deer flies and misquitoes. It works so well for my wife and I that we decided to buy 2 more to put on our dogs' collars.”
