What do I use to thwart Tsetse flies?

[Pheroze]

@CAustin , other good advice if you battling with the tsetse is to wear 2 pairs of jocks, it's no joke if they get you on the nuts, feels like you have been hit by a baseball bat. PS..If they do manage to get you on the nuts, you need to take both pairs off otherwise you have a problem with the swelling.

Nut biting flies? No wonder Cape Buffalo are so angry.

Long pants. Long sleeve shirts. Gloves. Head net. 55 gallon drum of deet.

My packing list is complete.

Tough guys drink a cup of deet a day for a week before they leave. It ensures you will never be bitten.

The big red "S" on my chest, has faded considerably over the years. If it means not getting harpooned in the nuggets by a fly, I will gladly belly up to the deet bar.

The hard part is getting it into the cup. Now if you are tough you just go up to the deer, throw him down onto the ground and go to sucking.

@JimP , I have never been that scared of a tsetse....

Maybe God created Tsetse flies, to test the mettle of brave men who hunt the wild places?

Any caliber you wish. You will never need a charter flight into the bush, as it comes with a built in jetpack
